The Rittschein is a stream in Eastern Styria in the districts of Weiz and Hartberg-Fürstenfeld in Austria . Except for a few places (such as east of Übersbach), it has been straightened and channeled.

history

The earliest written document is from 1322 and reads "Retschein". The name goes back to the Slovenian recina (river water).

Geographical location

The Rittschein is created by the confluence of the 2.17 km long Schlarpfenbach in the 6.5 km long Mayerbach in the municipality of Markt Hartmannsdorf . The course leads through the communities of Ottendorf an der Rittschein , Breitenfeld an der Rittschein , Söchau , Übersbach (municipality of Fürstenfeld) and Bad Loipersdorf . Shortly after the transition into Burgenland , the Rittschein flows into Königsdorf as a right tributary into the Lafnitz .
