Glashütten is a district of the Hirzenhain community in the Wetterau district of Hesse . The hamlets of Igelhausen and Streithain are in the district.

Geographical location

Glashütten is located in the southwestern Vogelsberg between the Büdinger Forest and the Oberwald am Hillersbach , a right, northern tributary of the Nidder near Lißberg .

The district area is given for 1961 as 783 hectares, 392 hectares of which are forest. The agriculturally used part of the district lies elongated in the valley of the Hillersbach and includes the hamlet Streithain above the village and below the village the hamlet Igelhausen and the eastern part of the reservoir Hillersbach , an upper basin of the Nidder power plant in Lißberg. The forests of Glashütten lie north of Glashütten and Ober-Lais and thus also west of the ridge that accompanies the valley. This is where the Seekopf is located , at 346 meters the highest point in any glassworks.

In addition to the core community, Glashütten is surrounded by the towns of Ober-Lais in the west, Eichelsachsen in the north, Burkhards in the northeast, Gedern in the east and Steinberg in the southeast.
