Culture and sights

Buildings

Church in Rückersdorf
Bismarck column in Reust

There are three Evangelical Lutheran churches in the community, one in each district. The Rückersdorfer church has a classical nave with a Gothic choir, the tower is mostly baroque . The church in Reuster is partially Gothic and has a late Gothic winged altar that was made around 1500. The church in Haselbach dates from the Baroque and has a side aisle in addition to the main nave with a tower.

On the western edge of Reust, on the 370 m high Reuster Berg, there is the colloquially known Reuster Tower , the Bismarck Column , which offers a wide view of the surroundings, which were previously shaped by the Wismut. The 21 m high square tower is made of limestone from Orlamünde . The choice of location was justified by the fact that the Reuster Berg was the highest elevation in what was then the eastern district of Saxony-Altenburg.

Green spaces and recreation

In the open ground west of the built-up area of ​​Rückersdorf, a biotope was created on an explosives store built in 1956 for the Wismut , which was handed over to the public as an accompanying object of the Expo 2000 . The display boards present 21 types of biotope, which as of 1999 contain 256 types of vascular plants , 69 types of mushrooms , 43 types of birds , 98 types of spiders , 133 types of butterflies and 47 types of wild bees .

The municipal area is crossed by the state road L 1081 from Ronneburg to Werdau , which leads through Reust and touches Rückersdorf via a bypass that was created in the Wismut times. At Rückersdorf the L 1082 branches off, which leads to Linda and Pohlen . The two bus lines 212 Gera – Friedmannsdorf and 213 Gera – Werdau – Zwickau, operated by Regionalverkehr Gera (RVG) and the private bus company Piehler , operate on weekdays , only the former also going to the Haselbach district.
