Rotstein, Mountain summit in the Oberlausitz, Saxony, Germany

Rotstein is the 453.7 m high main peak of a ridge of the same name in the Görlitz district, east of Löbau, not in Saxon Switzerland. The massif continues to the Hengstberg (421.3 m) and the horseshoe-shaped Georgenberg (396.5 m). On the southeastern crest are the remains of a late Slavic-early German double rampart.

Rotstein is a 453.7 m high mountain in the Görlitz district, not in Saxon Switzerland; it is the highest point of the German part of the Zittau Basin. On its southeastern crest are the remains of a late Slavic-early German double-walled fortification, from which the Upper Sorbian name Hrodźišćo ('sconce') derives. The Rotstein has been a nature reserve since 1912, the oldest in the Oberlausitz.

The Upper Sorbian name Hrodźišćo means "sconce" and comes from the late Slavic-early German double rampart whose remains lie on the southeastern crest of the Rotstein. The German name refers to the reddish rock of the massif. The ridge was once the border between the Niederschlesischer Oberlausitzkreis and the Landkreis Löbau-Zittau.

The Rotstein summit stands at 453.7 m; a 21 m iron observation tower with 101 steps was inaugurated there in late October 2000. The peak and western slopes lie in Rosenbach territory, the eastern slopes in Sohland am Rotstein. The B6 road and the Dresden–Görlitz railway run north of the ridge.
