Lauscha, Glass manufacturing town in Thuringia, Germany
Lauscha sits at 625 meters elevation in a deep valley of the Thuringian Highland, surrounded by mountains reaching up to 835 meters.
The settlement emerged around 1366 when the stream was first recorded as lutzscha, providing essential water for the development of glass manufacturing.
The local glassblowing tradition produces intricate Christmas tree decorations, with specialized techniques passed down through generations of craftsmen.
The town administration at Bahnhofstr 1 opens Monday through Friday, offering services to residents with extended hours on Thursday evenings until 18:00.
The railway connection built in the early 1900s required channeling the Lauscha river underground, transforming the town's natural water system.
