history

Löbnitz, which was called "Lubenize" in the High Middle Ages, derives its place name from the earlier geomorphological location in a swamp area. It is translated as "swamp village". The nickname "an der Linde" comes from an ancient linden tree in front of the 13th century church. Before the church tower was built in 1829, it had a bell called "Bimmel" with a diameter of 0.57 m. During the times of the GDR this addition to the name was deleted, but applied for again after 1990. An old stamp from 1942 with the embossing "Löbnitz an der Linde" serves as proof.

Löbnitz was first mentioned in a document in 1148. Three years earlier, Pope Lucius II took possession of the Löbnitz settlement with the Nienburg monastery . Around 1200 Löbnitz belonged to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg , whose worldly property was administered as the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . Today's Wenndorf district was first mentioned in a document in 1529. It was owned by the Wülknitz family until 1564 and belonged to the Principality of Anhalt-Köthen . With the Peace of Prague of 1635 , Löbnitz an der Linde, surrounded by places of the Principality of Anhalt-Köthen, was awarded to the Electorate of Saxony . It remained with this even after the Peace of Westphalia (1648), when the Archbishopric of Magdeburg was assigned to the Electorate of Brandenburg as the hereditary Duchy of Magdeburg . After the death of the last administrator of the Duchy of Magdeburg, Duke August von Sachsen-Weißenfels , the Duchy of Magdeburg passed to Brandenburg-Prussia in 1680 . In this context, the Brandenburg Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia took the oath of allegiance on the territory of the Magdeburger Holzkreis , as a result of which Löbnitz changed to Brandenburg-Prussia as part of the Holzkreis. The jurisdiction over the place lay with the cathedral provost of Magdeburg .

At the time of the French occupation (1807 to 1813), the Prussian exclave Löbnitz an der Linde, located in Anhalt-Köthen, was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. The place belonged to the canton of Cönnern . During the political reorganization of the Prussian state territory after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Löbnitz an der Linde was attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis .

The Anhalt-Koethensche Wenndorf was owned by the von Renthe-Fink family in 1830. With the formation of the united principality of Anhalt , Wenndorf came to its district of Köthen . At the time of the Free State of Anhalt , the district of Köthen was incorporated into the district of Dessau-Köthen in 1932 . April 1, 1942, the previously Prussian community of Löbnitz an der Linde was incorporated into the surrounding Anhalt district of Dessau-Köthen, which meant that Wenndorf and Löbnitz an der Linde were no longer separated by a state border for the first time.

During the first district reform in the GDR on July 1, 1950, the district of Dessau-Köthen and the urban district of Köthen were again formed into a district of Köthen . At the same time, the previously independent community of Wenndorf was incorporated. With the second district reform in 1952, Löbnitz aL was incorporated into the Köthen district in the Halle district, which became the Köthen district in 1990 and was incorporated into the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district in 2007. Since 1994 Löbnitz an der Linde has been part of the Ziethetal administrative association . On January 1, 2004 this was dissolved and Löbnitz an der Linde was incorporated into Köthen (Anhalt).
