Rehau is a municipality in the district of Hof, in Bavaria, Germany. The first documented name of Rehau was "Resawe" in the year 1234. Rehau is situated in the Fichtelgebirge, 12 km southeast of Hof, and 12 km west of Aš. Formerly a fairly isolated town, located as it is near both Czech and former East German borders, with the fall of The Wall, it is now in the center of a growing area, with a new Autobahn providing ready access from Nuremberg and Munich.

The principle employer and economic engine is the polymer manufacturer REHAU AG + Co, which was founded in 1948. With more than 15.000 employees REHAU is an international company, that produces products in construction, automotive and industry.
