Löbau ( , Upper Sorbian ) is a large district town in the Görlitz district in Upper Lusatia in Saxony . It is part and also the administrative seat of the Löbau administrative community .
It is located about 75 km east of Dresden , 18 km south-east of Bautzen and 25 km south-west of Görlitz .
geography
Löbau is located on the eastern edge of the Lusatian mountainous region and the Lausitz region. The place is in the Löbauer Kessel, in the Saxon natural area of the Oberlausitzer Gefildes in the border area to the Oberlausitzer Bergland (northern main ridge). Small spatially adjoin: south the Kottmarmassiv , east of the Neisse hills and north of the Gefildezone with transition to Lausitz Plain. The cityscape is shaped by the eastern Löbauer Berg ( 447 m ) with Schafberg ( 449 m ) ("Löbau - Stadt am Berge"), the double summit has formed the 255 hectare landscape protection area (LSG) "Löbauer Berg" since 1974.
Geologically, there is a subsoil made of deep rock (granodiorite). The head of the source of the double mountain Löbauer Berg / Schafberg was created by volcanism in the Tertiary and consists of basalt rock . The basalt has weathered into blocks that cover large areas of the mountain in the form of rock heaps (block seas or "stone seas"). The lower parts of the Löbauer Kessel (240 to 270 m) have the shape of undulating loess plateaus , which consist of loess and alluvial clay, sand / gravel and granite.
Löbau is located at the confluence of the Seltenrein into the Löbauer Wasser , a tributary of the Spree .
Geotopes worth mentioning are the Georgewitzer Skala (a rocky valley cut of the Löbauer water north of the city) and the western hilltop of the Bubenik (also known as the Kleine Landeskrone - 376 m), whose basalt spring dome has been a natural monument since 1938 .
The town of Löbau also includes the mountain Kottmar (583 m), 10 km south , on whose western slope one of the three Spree springs is located.
Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities of Löbau are Vierkirchen in the north, the city of Reichenbach / OL in the northeast, Rosenbach in the southeast, Kottmar and Großschweidnitz in the south, Lawalde in the southwest and in the Bautzen district, the municipality of Hochkirch in the west and the city of Weißenberg in the northwest.
City structure
The city council of the large district town of Löbau decided in its session on July 7, 2011 a new structure of the city. The formerly independent villages Altlöbau (previously to Löbau), Dolgowitz (previously to Rosenhain), Oelsa (previously to Löbau), Unwürde (previously to Laucha), Wendisch-Cunnersdorf (previously to Rosenhain) and Wendisch-Paulsdorf (previously to Rosenhain ) declared as separate districts of the city of Löbau. The core urban area of Löbau was simultaneously divided into the districts of Löbau-Mitte, Löbau-Neustadt, Löbau-Nord, Löbau-Ost, Löbau-Süd and Löbau-West. The urban area now consists of 32 districts :

With the exception of the former settlements of Körbigsdorf , Liebesdörfel , Tiefendorf and Peschen (Stwěšin) , the subdivision of the urban area takes into account all formerly independent places.
history
Prehistory and early history
Finds of ceramic and bronze objects in the valley of the Löbauer water and a fortified hilltop settlement (ring wall or ski jump) on the Schafberg prove the prehistoric settlement of the area in the Bronze Age Lusatian culture (around 1000 BC). About 800 m southwest of the Löbau district of Bellwitz , the remains of the Slavic fortification Bielplatz Bellwitz from prehistoric times can be found on a rocky promontory above the Löbauer Wasser .
middle Ages
Löbau was first mentioned in 1221 as Lubaw by Bishop Bruno II of Meissen. The name comes from Sorbian , but the meaning is not certain. The city was planned around 1200 as part of the German East Settlement under Bohemian rule ( Ottokar I ) on a plateau above the marshy floodplain of the Löbauer Water. According to its original purpose, Löbau was planned as a trading and industrial site and was fortified with city walls. By 1319, the city was expanded to become a typical agricultural town . The local Franciscan monastery was first mentioned in 1336. Löbau belonged to the Upper Lusatian Six Cities Association , which was founded here in 1346. Because of its central location in Upper Lusatia, the city remained a federal convent until 1815. In 1359 a church building with the name capella Beatae Virginis extra muros (Church of the Holy Virgin outside the wall) was mentioned for the first time. It is unknown today whether the building existed before it was first mentioned in 1221.
Devastating fires repeatedly reduced parts of the city to rubble and ashes. A look at Badergasse shows what it once looked like in many streets - most of the houses faced the street with their gables.
Early modern age
Löbau was besieged and stormed several times during the Hussite Wars , which also ravaged Upper Lusatia from 1424 to 1434, in 1425 and 1428. In the last year, a Hussite-minded townspeople set fire to it in connection with this, with Löbau largely victim of the flames fell. In 1430 the Hussites again stood at the gates of the rebuilt city. This time the city surrendered to the Bohemians, was spared and occupied. The Bohemian-Hussite occupiers expanded the small town of six into the "main military base in the six lands". The Hussites more or less ruled Upper Lusatia at that time. The situation in Upper Lusatia was to change fundamentally after the Hussite defeat at the Battle of Lipany in 1434. Later wars, such as the Upper Lusatian Pönfall (1547) and the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) as well as six city fires, hit Löbau hard. In 1678, half of the city was burned to ashes. The same happened on October 20, 1710. In the 17th century , the city was granted sovereign privileges, such as market and brewing rights and the ban mile. Around 1700 there was a heyday of linen weaving and extensive long-distance trade overseas. After the city fire of 1710, further urban development changes followed, e.g. B. the baroque building of the town hall (1711) and numerous town houses.
In the course of industrialization , Löbau was connected by Chausseen with Görlitz (1822), Bautzen (1824) and Zittau . In 1847 the connection to the Görlitz – Dresden railway followed . Further rail connections followed in 1848 to Zittau , 1873 to Ebersbach , 1895 to Weißenberg and 1928 to Cunewalde .
In the 19th century the textile industry dominated the small town. The first factory in Löbau was the red and colored dye works founded by Hildebrandt in 1835, from which the state-owned Upper Lusatian textile finishing plant was to emerge more than 100 years later. In addition, there were many other industries with a focus on processing such as For example: natural stone processing, brickworks, brewery, vinegar production, sugar factory, noodle production, cheese dairy, dairy and slaughterhouse, but also mechanical engineering, a grand piano and piano manufacture, rubber and carbon dioxide production. In 1898 a power station was opened and at the same time a gas station was operated. Löbau's location on the Dresden – Wroclaw long-distance railway had a positive effect on industrial development .
Until the early 20th century, in the villages west and north of the city - z. B. Großdehsa , Oelsa , Kittlitz - still the Löbauer dialect of Sorbian spoken; this is now extinct.
20th century
At the beginning of the 20th century, the city was the economic and cultural center of the Löbau administration with credit institutes, some offices such as the tax office, health department, garrison, police and district court with a prison. In 1912 a hospital was built.
In 1923 a newspaper printer was opened and in 1924 the “People's newspaper for Upper Lusatia” appeared. An artistic venue on Theaterplatz was planned, but was never built.
At the beginning of the 20th century there was a trade school, vocational school and trade school. There were teacher training centers in the city from 1873 to 1998 (1873–1935 Royal Teachers ' Seminar, 1955–1990 Institute for Teacher Training , 1993–1999 State Seminars for teaching at primary and secondary schools).
From 1914 to 1991 Löbau was a garrison town. Starting with a hunter barracks (1914) up to an officers' college for the land forces "Ernst Thälmann" (1963). During the First World War , Löbau was the location of a reserve hospital and was involved in war production. At the end of the Second World War , the city was not directly affected by acts of war, but almost all major road and rail bridges were blown up. In 1945 units of the Red Army moved in ; the Soviet occupation zone came into being.
post war period
In the period after 1945 the population and economy (especially the textile industry) grew; Löbau became a district town ( Löbau district ). In 1950 the “Stadium of Youth” was opened at the foot of the Löbauer mountain. After 1960 the city grew and expanded through new residential areas in the south (1955), north (1972) and east (1981). The development of the industrial and population center around Ebersbach and Neugersdorf in the south of the district also had an impact on Löbau.
In 1988 the city received another landmark: the 162 meter high concrete tower of the new television and radio station Löbau on the Schafberg was completed. In the 1970s and 1980s, the appearance of a textile industry and garrison town prevailed.
Löbau belonged to the so-called Valley of the Clueless : there could FM - Radio - and television broadcasts from the former territory of the Federal Republic of Germany (the GDR Western television called) with great effort not terrestrially received. The Löbauer therefore only received information from the censored GDR media .
After 1990
After the reunification of Germany in 1990, a profound structural change followed (decline of the majority of industrial companies, dissolution of the officers' college ), combined with a decline in the population and a loss of purchasing power. In the course of the district reform of 1994, Löbau lost its status as a district town (LÖB). In the newly formed district of Löbau-Zittau (ZI), which merged with the Saxon district reform in 2008 in the newly formed district of Görlitz, it achieved the status of a major district town in 2000, but lost almost all political and administrative functions to Zittau .
After successful inner-city redevelopment and inner-city design in the 1990s, the character of a small town predominates. Along with Kamenz and Niesky, Löbau is one of the smaller towns in Upper Lusatia with a city center that is well worth seeing and a scenic area that is attractive for tourists.
Incorporations
In 1934 Altlöbau was incorporated into Löbau. Oelsa followed in 1979, three municipalities in 1994, Ebersdorf in 1999 and Kittlitz in 2003.

House make-up
The Schminke house in Kirschallee 1b is one of the most important works of classical modernism and an example of the so-called “ New Building ” as it was developed at the Breslau Art Academy and the Bauhaus . The Löbauer house was planned by Hans Scharoun for Fritz & Charlotte Schminke from 1930 to 1933 . It is considered to be Scharoun's main work in the field of private residential construction. It is therefore the destination of specialist excursions from all over the world and the subject of numerous publications. Overnight stays are possible for those interested in the subject. Universities and colleges can use the house for workshops and seminars.
The Schminke house joins the ranks of the most well-known modernists such as the Villa Tugendhat by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe , the Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier and the Kaufmann House ( Fallingwater ) by Frank Lloyd Wright .

Its builder was the master baker Friedrich August Bretschneider , who financed the construction with approx. 25,000 thalers. The iron parts of the tower were cast in the ironworks in Bernsdorf / OL and have neo-Byzantine and neo-Gothic ornamentation. The octagonal tower has three galleries (12, 18 and 24 m high) that can be reached via a 120-step spiral staircase. A fundamental renovation with dismantling and reconstruction took place in 1993/94.
