history
First mentioned until the middle of the 16th century
The place Langenleuba was first mentioned in 1290 in a document of the bailiffs of Weida as "Longa luben". At the request of his brother Henry of Wolkenburg transferred Count Heinrich II. Altenburg said Berger monastery Altenburg one talent of silver in the village Langenluben as atonement for the murder of Henry of Kaufungen . The German King Rudolf I took the Bergerkloster under his protection on November 10, 1290. In the confirmation of the privileges, rights and the individual performance of all income and possessions, "Luben major" was expressly written in the document. In addition, Johannes “plebanus” (pastor) appeared in Langenluben as a witness to a document.
The name of the settlement on the Leubabach could be drawn from its Slavic origin, since "luba" or "luwa", freely translated, means bark and forest landscape was predominant here at that time. When the forest on the upper reaches of the Leubabach was reclaimed, this district received the addition "Oberhain", while the district at the confluence of the Leubabach into the Wiera received the addition "Niederhain". A castle has been mentioned in Langenleuba-Niederhain since the 11th century, whose owner and probably also builder were the burgraves of Altenburg.
With the extinction of the burgraves of Altenburg in 1329, the Wettins became the feudal lords of the Pleißenland and thus also of Langenleuba. From 1329 the Wettin margraves of Meißen had sovereignty over the castle in Langenleuba-Niederhain. In the course of time the castle was lent to the burgraves of Leisnig , and later to the lords of Creutzen , von Zschadras , von Schauroth and von Kuntsch . After the Margraviate of Meißen acquired the electorate in 1423, Langenleuba belonged to the Electorate of Saxony . After Leipzig was divided in 1485, the place remained with the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony. When the Reformation was introduced , the Altenburg Bergerkloster was dissolved in 1543. With the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, Langenleuba belonged to the now Albertine Electorate of Saxony. At this time at the latest there was an administrative border between Langenleuba-Oberhain and Langenleuba-Niederhain. In 1551 Langenleuba-Oberhain was under the jurisdiction of the Sahlis manor , which with its places around 1696 belonged to the Borna district of Saxony . As a result, the place shared the history of Saxony, while Langenleuba-Niederhain belonged to the Thuringian states in the following period.
Mid-16th century to 19th century
Langenleuba-Niederhain, like its present-day districts, belonged to the Altenburg office , which became Ernestine again with the Naumburg Treaty in 1554 and subsequently belonged to various Ernestine duchies : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603 ), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). The von Kuntsch family had the moated castle in Langenleuba-Niederhain demolished in 1707 and a castle built by Johann Gregor Fuchs , which is known as " Half Castle " due to the demolition of the south wing in 1838 .
When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, Langenleuba-Niederhain became part of the re-established duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, the place legally belonged to the Altenburg district court and, in terms of administration, to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900).
20th century to the present
In 1901 Langenleuba-Niederhain was connected to the Altenburg – Langenleuba-Oberhain railway with the Beiern-Langenleuba station . The railway line existed until 1995. From 1918 Langenleuba-Niederhain belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. Since 1922 the place belonged to the Thuringian district of Altenburg .
In 1945, 14 Jewish women from the Penig subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Langenleuba-Oberhain were buried in the local cemetery , who had perished during the Second World War while doing forced labor for the Max Gehre company in Penig, which belongs to the Junkers factories . A memorial commemorates them.
In the course of the land reform in the Soviet Zone , the descendants of the von Kuntsch family were expropriated in 1946 and the family foundation established in 1926 was abolished. Eleven new farmer positions were created on the estate . School lessons were held in the castle itself. The empty castle building has been falling into disrepair since around 1980, while the farm buildings, including the former knight's inn, have been preserved.
During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Langenleuba-Niederhain was assigned to the Altenburg district, which in turn now belonged to the Leipzig district . When the Free State of Thuringia was re-established in 1990, Langenleuba-Niederhain and the Altenburg district came back to Thuringia. Since 1994 the place has been part of the Altenburger Land district. Between April 1, 1992 and July 6, 2018, Langenleuba-Niederhain belonged to the Wieratal administrative community , which was also based in the village. Since then, the Nobitz community has been a fulfilling community for Langenleuba-Niederhain.
