Rübeland is a district of the city Upper Harz on the Brocken in the Harz district in Saxony-Anhalt and since 2004 has had the additional name "Höhlenort". The place is in the Bodetal in the south extends the Rappbodetalsperre.
background
The place, first mentioned in 1320, has a long mining tradition. Iron ore works were located here and slate was mined.
In 1536 the local Baumannshöhle was allegedly rediscovered by the miner Friedrich Baumann. However, it is a story made up during the Nazi era in order to come up with a suitable anniversary date.
In 2004, Rübeland became a unified community Elbingerode (Harz) incorporated. The place Rübetal itself consists of the districts Neuwerk, Kaltes Tal, Susenburg and Kreuztal.

Tourist Attractions
Show caves
