 Location of Altlöbau in the area of the city of Löbau
|
|
Altlöbau ( Upper Sorbian Stary Lubij ) has been a district of Löbau since 1934 and borders directly on the city to the west.
geography
In a westerly direction, the Waldhufendorf with 329 ha (1900) merges seamlessly into the village of Oelsa . Both places are located in the valley of the Seltenrein , which , coming from the slope of the Bubenik , has several small anthropogenic gradients here in the lower reaches.
The old farmhouses are about 100 m from the stream on both sides of the Lehne. In between, craftsmen and workers settled in the narrow floodplain with their properties. The houses only have an urban appearance in the immediate vicinity of the city, otherwise they have retained their village character. Occasionally one finds a half-timbered upper floor with them ; The surrounding area can still be seen, for example, on the residential building "An der Seltenrein 2". Altlöbau is predominantly surrounded by agricultural land (mainly arable land and growing vegetables on the road to Lawalde). This extends north to federal highway 6 and south, where it reaches the highest point on the eastern slope of the Lärchenberg , to the sand water. The newly built southern bypass of the B 178 around Löbau runs southwest of the locality.
history
1306 in the list of Weichbilddörfer is called Altlöbau Antiqua Lobavia and is regarded as the foundation of an L'ub (a) or L'ubava. When the town of Löbau was founded before 1221, the place had to cede most of its corridor. Altlöbau was owned by various Löbauer citizens until after 1400, after which it came under the city council for the most part in 1421 and completely from 1438. Until its replacement in 1838, with a two-year break due to the Upper Lusatian Pönfall in 1547, it remained a "town-suffering council village". In 1458 in Altlöbau (aldin Lobaw) there were 5 Sorbian names out of 25 recorded owner names. Together with the town of Oelsa, the village was subordinate to the Wendish church in Löbau ( Johanniskirche ) since 1553 . The local teacher therefore had to be able to speak Sorbian and appear as a chorister at church services in Löbau. In the old church gallery from 1840 it says about the residents that “... only a small part of the Wendish language has remained faithful.” At that time a total of 514 inhabitants lived in 105 houses in Altlöbau. These included 16 farmers, 2 large and 25 allotment gardeners and 62 cottagers. In 1884/85 Arnošt Muka counted 626 Germans and 99 Sorbs (14%) among 725 inhabitants. They spoke the Löbauer dialect of Upper Sorbian.
The first school building was built in 1540. In 1716 the municipalities of Altlöbau and Oelsa employed their first joint teacher, and in 1726 they built their first schoolhouse. A new building was inaugurated in 1826 (1827 after Schütze), and the third in 1882, which was expanded in 1907. The children have been attending school in Löbau since 1937. The Altlöbauer school building served as a technical school for agriculture until 1965.
