history

The first documentary mention of the village took place around 1181–1214. The place name was previously written Curbiz or Corbiz, which has old Sorbian origins and means something like hearth or smoke hole. The remains of a chapel are said to have existed in the village in 1722.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, the burgraves of Altenburg owned the place. Later, Kürbitz belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony- Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, Kürbitz again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Kürbitz belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. . In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .

On April 1, 1938, the small town was incorporated into Kosma together with Schlöpitz . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Kürbitz came as the district of Kosma with the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig , which since 1990 belonged to the district Altenburg Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. With the incorporation of Kosma into Altenburg, Kürbitz became a place within the Altenburg district of Kosma on December 31, 1996.

Schlöpitz

The now desolate hamlet of Schlöpitz was first mentioned as Zlepz in 1181 and 1214 in the tithes index of the Bosau monastery , which in Old Sorbian means as much as the spring . The place was in the valley of the blue tide at two former ponds at a height of 200 to 205 m above sea level. There was a mill and a manor in the village. The LPG type III Free Country Kosma maintained a technology base in the village. The district of the place covers 87 hectares, in 1935 24 inhabitants lived in Schlöpitz. In February 1985 the last buildings were demolished after several years of vacancy and decay. Today the former fortification of a moated castle is under monument protection, the island .
