history

Rabenstein was first mentioned between 1301 and 1312 under the name "Robenstain" in the Lower Bavarian Salbuch Monumenta Boica . There was a glassworks here as early as 1421 , in which slugs and pearls for rosaries were made, hence the name "Paternosterhütte".

Rabenstein was also a typical place for glassmakers in the following centuries. The first hut was in the middle of the village. In 1552 a hut owner Thomas Rabensteiner was mentioned, followed by Hans Rabensteiner. In 1596 Georg Rabensteiner was the smelter here. More huts were added later, but they closed again by 1758. In 1636 the Zwiesel regional court sold the Rabenstein smelter to Jakob Greiner. It was acquired by Franz Hilz in 1741, and in 1744 by Felix Martin Kiesling, who gave birth to the widow Anna Maria Hilz, nee. Stadler married, Hüttenmeister. The Kiesling family, owned by Kiesling since 1793, was very important to Rabenstein until 1847. On January 15, 1847, the heirs sold the estate with 6,212 daily work and 45 houses and significant forest holdings to the state for 300,000 guilders .

In 1785, a Kiesling built the "Old Castle", a manor house that was occupied in 1847 by a royal forest ranger. It now served as a forestry office and fell victim to a fire on December 17, 1961. The schoolhouse was also built in 1785 and demolished in 1992.

At the Hennenkobel there was a quartz quarry nearby, which later became an important mineral find. Here, at the abandoned town of Althütte, a glassworks was built again in 1817 in place of an abandoned hut, but it burned down in 1820. In 1822 a hut was built in its place in Schachtenbach, which was moved to Regenhütte in 1850 .

The legendary forest prophet Mühlhiasl is said to have lived in Rabenstein as a cattle herder or at least, if Mühlhiasl is a construction of two different people, the "forest prophet" Stormberger.

In the vicinity of Rabenstein is the abandoned hamlet of Ableg , which was first inhabited by glassmakers and ash burners and later woodcutters until the mid-1960s.
