history
After the Bautzen District Directorate was formed in 1835, the two administrative authorities Löbau and Bautzen were set up in the same year as a subdivision . 1,874 were in Saxony Kingdom as part of a comprehensive administrative reform new district governor teams set up and Amtshauptmann teams. From the judicial districts of Bernstadt, Ebersbach, Herrnhut, Löbau, Neusalza and Weißenberg, a downsized Löbau administration was formed, while the new Zittau administration was created from the Zittau, Groß-Schönau, Ostritz and Reichenau districts . The Saxon Amtshauptmann teams were in function and size similar to a county .
In 1939 the administrative authority of Löbau was renamed the district of Löbau . The district continued to exist in the GDR until the territorial reform of 1952 and was then transferred in a modified form to the new Löbau district , which was assigned to the Dresden district .
In the northwest of the official administration, around the towns of Hochkirch, Kittlitz and Weißenberg, the Löbauer dialect of Sorbian was spoken by a large part of the population well into the 20th century .
