Raitschin is a village in the district and municipality of Regnitzlosau in the Upper Franconian district of Hof .

Raitschin is one kilometer east of State Road 2192 between Regnitzlosau and Rehau .

In 1502 Fabian von Feilitzsch owned a farm with a sheep farm there. In 1594 there was a hostel "near the knight forest", which in 1610 belonged to the property in Regnitzlosau , which was located behind the church. References to a tower mound in the literature have been found to be reading errors. During the Thirty Years War , the butcher Paul Schmidt was shot by imperial and kronachian mercenaries in 1632.

Höllerich puts the field names Kalte Bögen, also called Kalte Pingen, and Raitschin in connection with mining activities and the extraction of iron ore and alum . Due to the geological conditions at the Kalten Pingen, he assumes that efforts were made to mine ore in the opencast mine, but that no significant deposits were found, which explains the name.
