Kunsthaus Rehau

Highlight • Monument

The writer Eugen Gomringer is one of the founders of "concrete poetry", an internationally oriented avant-garde movement of experimental poetry. Throughout his life he also collected numerous works of concrete art.
In the 1960s he moved to the Fichtelgebirge, where he worked for Philip Rosenthal in the Selb porcelain company for many years. In his home in Rehau, Gomringer's collectibles were made available to the public.
The former schoolhouse next to the town church became the "Kunsthaus Rehau". The artist family founded the IKKP, the Institute for Constructive Art and Concrete Poetry, there in 2000. Exhibitions are held several times a year in the house's gallery. Eugen Gomringer's unique archive is also housed there and is available to anyone interested in concrete art and literature on request.

St. Jobst Parish Church (Rehau)

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church is the oldest building in the town. As early as 1427, there was a chapel dedicated to Saint Jobst, which was subordinate to the mother church in Schwarzenbach an der Saale.
On May 22, 1470, the town council successfully applied to establish its own parish. Due to the town's affiliation with the Principality of Kulmbach (since 1604 the Principality of Bayreuth), the Lutheran Reformation was introduced in Rehau.
The main church, built on the site of the old chapel, still bears the name of the Parish Church of St. Jobst. The church tower was raised in 1607 and a memorial stone was added. This year is the oldest inscription in Rehau.

Model City of Rehau

Highlight • Settlement

It must have been an infernal sea of flames that struck Rehau on September 6, 1817. Almost the entire town was destroyed by a devastating fire. The third major town fire after 1512 and 1763 destroyed over 160 houses and outbuildings as well as 300 barns with the annual harvest in three hours. The church, the rectory, the town hall and the district court were also destroyed by the flames.
The reconstruction, which lasted from 1818 to 1824, was coordinated by Johann Wilhelm Baumann from Hof. He succeeded in developing a unique urban development concept. Rehau was to be rebuilt as an ideal town in keeping with the spirit of the times and in accordance with the most modern fire protection requirements. This included a checkerboard-like, symmetrical floor plan with wide, dead-straight axes and cross streets running at right angles to them. All new buildings were to be built entirely of stone and with integrated fire protection walls.

Old Town Hall Rehau

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town hall on Maxplatz, one of the most striking points in the city center, was built in 1823. The trigger for the new town hall was the third Rehau town fire on September 6, 1817, which reduced the entire town to rubble and ashes. At that time, Rehau was rebuilt as a model town according to the plans of the Bavarian government.
Numerous concerts and cabaret evenings, as well as weddings and conferences, take place in the ballroom in the old town hall.
