Rehhübel is a mountain of Saxony, southeastern Germany.

Geographic Location
The Rehhübel is located in the western Erzgebirge at Oberwildenthal and south of Sauschwemme, a district of Johanngeorgenstadt in Erzgebirgskreis. The next highest elevation not far from the Rehhübel is 1018.2m above sea level, about three kilometers to the north. Only a few hundred meters south of the Rehhübel runs the border with the Czech Republic.

Geology
The Rehhübel belongs to the Roteisen-Baryt-Formation. The Rehhübeler block train was once the most important and was mainly known for striking steps of the Red Glass Head.

History
While charcoal burning was practiced in Rehhübel in the 16th century CE, mining began in the 17th century CE for red iron, quartz and pitchblende. In 1656, the All Saints' Mound is mentioned. The most important mountain ruler was Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld, who owned the mines Three Brothers, St. Christopher and Assumption.

Tin and iron ore are among the raw materials mined in the Wildenthal area since early times. The pit field on Rehhübel belonged to the Saxon Eibenstock mining district. This covered the entire area between Gottesberg in the west and Hohanngeorgenstadt in the east. First documented mention of minin on iron and tin ore in the are south of Schwarzenberg date to the last quarter of the 14th century. When the mining began around Wildenthal exactly, could not yet be clarified conclusively. Old cracks indicate a multitude of heaps and pit names in the environment of the Urbanus-Stollens, which indicate an intensive, close-to-day mining already before 1700. The Urbanus tunnel, a robberyIt also served the drainage above located mines such as the "St. Johannes Fundgrube "and later also the" Lorenz Fundgrube ". In 1833 mentions the "Yearbook for the Saxon mountain and hut man" u. a. that "bey Sct. John at Rehhübel [...] it continually is no lack of Eisenerzanbrüchen. "And" The Urbaneser Stollnort moved by 14 7/8 Lachter around noon in the Lorenz field continued. " A year later (1834) is also in the yearbook Lorenz Fundgrube mined vein described as follows: "Freylich is the [...] drainage, which requires 6 men daily, very expensive [...]. In the meantime, the approach of the deeper Urbanus-Stollen from St. John [...] should remedy this evil in not too long a time completely. "

In historical crack documents it can often be stated that at the time of the survey, galleries and cavities no longer accessible were no longer displayed. The current daily breaks show that here, too, the cracks are possibly incomplete with respect to possibly already before 1780 created mine workings on the Urbanus tunnel.

Until the beginning of the 1930s, the Huthaus St. Johannes, which once served as a pit house for the dismantling of the red iron stone, stood on the Rehhübel slope to Oberwildenthal. Furthermore, the Lorenz Society also thought that the Lorenz-Tief-Erbstollen was here. After her, the Lorenzhäuser and the still existing Lorenzweg were named.

Not far from the roebuck, the Hohlbauer Kunstgraben continued until after the First World War.
