Ľubica (German Leibitz , Hungarian Leibic , Latin Laibicium ) is a municipality in northeastern Slovakia with 4585 inhabitants (December 31, 2019).
history
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1251; In 1271 he was granted city rights. For a long time, until around 1900, the city had a mainly German-speaking population. After that, the proportion of Slovaks and other ethnic groups increased more and more. By pledging 16 Spiš cities to Poland, the importance of the city slowly declined, even after the return to Hungary and the founding of the province of 16 Spiš cities, the decline could not be stopped. In 1878 the place was downgraded to a village, but was still the seat of the district administration within the Hungarian Spiš county . For the story see also the main article on the Zips .
Positive developments were also expected from the discovery of a sulfur spring, which in 1714 led to the establishment of the Leibitz sulfur bath ( Ľubické Kúpele ).
In 1952 the Javorina military training area was set up in the north and east; In 1974 the place became a district of Kežmarok. The community has only been independent again since 1992 and has since tried to revive the old tradition. In 2011 the Javorina military district was dissolved and the Katastubické Kúpele cadastral community is again part of Ľubica.
