landscape

The municipality of Löberschütz is in the area of ​​the Gleistal and the adjacent heights. The wide valley runs from Bürgel in the east to Golmsdorf in the west, where it opens into the Saale valley. On the south to south-west facing slopes there used to be important vineyards, which have been replaced in the course of modern times by orchards that are still partially preserved. A number of old vineyard houses have survived. The remaining parts of the community area are today mostly used as forest, field or meadow.

On this island-like, up to 338  m above sea level. NN high mountain was an important prehistoric hill settlement that has been increasingly excavated and researched in recent years.

history

The village of Löberschütz was first mentioned in a document in 1227.

In the Löberschützer corridor are the two deserted areas Lotzschen and Rasdorf . Lotzschen was mentioned in documents in 1256 and 1278. Accordingly, the lords of Lobdeburg sold the village to the Lausnitz monastery at this time . Lotzschen may have died in the Hussite War or in the Saxon Civil War in the 15th century. The name has been preserved in some field names. Apart from a field name, nothing more is known about the Rasdorf desert, which is also partly located in the Jenalöbnitz corridor .

In 1836 the place had 238 inhabitants in 47 houses and a mill. In the place there was a manor, first a Wolfram von Gottfort (probably more "von Göttfort") (1586), then, in 1629, a Jobst von Wolframsdorf . The last owner was Captain Joseph Henning von Fensterer, who died on February 14, 1749, after whose death the estate fell to the Duke, who then sold it to four parishioners who were already co-owners.

The pastor David Heinrich Hoffmann worked as a clergyman in the village from 1773 to 1782 and convinced the farmers with his cousin Dr. Sam. Emhard from Jena to introduce the cultivation of pharmacist plants. This also succeeded and radiated successfully to the neighboring villages.

Löberschütz was persecuted by witches in 1561 . A man and a woman got into witch trials .
