history

The village of Groß Liebitz was first mentioned in a document in 1420 as "Lubicze". In 1574 the addition “Gros” was added to the place name to distinguish it from the Klein Liebitz Vorwerk, which was mentioned earlier . The place name comes from the Sorbian language and means "place where people of a man named Lub live". The name indicates the owner of the village at the time.

During the Thirty Years War , Groß Liebitz was initially protected by the Saxon army. However, this was defeated by the Swedes at Lieberose in June 1637 . Groß Liebitz and the surrounding villages were then looted and destroyed. After the end of the war, the Swedish and later Polish general Christoph von Houwald bought the Straupitz estate with its villages and reoccupied the abandoned estates in Groß Liebitz with subjects.

Groß Liebitz also had Sorbian-speaking residents until the 19th century, but the use of the Sorbian language fell sharply towards the end of the 19th century. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a total population of 177 in the 1880s, of which only 40 were Sorbs and 137 were Germans, which corresponds to a Sorbian-speaking share of 23%.

After the Congress of Vienna , Groß Liebitz came to the Kingdom of Prussia as part of Niederlausitz . There the place was in the district of Lübben in the administrative district of Frankfurt . On April 1, 1939, Klein Liebitz was incorporated into Groß Liebitz, but on January 1, 1946, Klein Liebitz became independent again. On July 1, 1950, Klein Liebitz was finally incorporated into the community of Groß Liebitz. On July 25, 1952, the community was assigned to the newly formed Lübben district in the Cottbus district . On January 1, 1974, Groß Liebitz merged with the municipality of Lamsfeld to form the new municipality of Lamsfeld-Groß Liebitz .

After the reunification , this community was in the Lübben district in Brandenburg . On October 1, 1992 Lamsfeld-Groß Liebitz joined the Lieberose office . After the Brandenburg district reform of December 6, 1993, the community finally came to the newly formed district of Dahme-Spreewald . On October 26, 2003 Lamsfeld-Groß Liebitz was merged with the communities of Goyatz , Jessern , Mochow , Ressen-Zaue and Speichrow to form the new community of Schwielochsee . At the same time the office Lieberose with the Office Oberspreewald merged to lieberose / oberspreewald . Groß Liebitz was downgraded to a part of the municipality through the incorporation.
