history

In the years 1181–1214, the author determined the first documentary mention of the hamlet. The community assumes 1181. The original place name "Lubuwiz" (1181) or "Lubewiz" (1220) is derived from the Slavic word "ljub" = dear. Burgrave Albrecht von Altenburg handed over 3 hooves in the local hall to the Bergerkloster zu Altenburg in 1220 .

Löpitz 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 Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, it 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 .

In 1923 Löpitz was incorporated into Burkersdorf . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Löpitz came as the district of Burkersdorf with the district Altenburg at the Leipzig district , since 1990 as a county belonged to Altenburg Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. By incorporating the municipality of Burkersdorf with its districts, Löpitz came to the municipality of Lehndorf on January 1, 1973 . With the rise of the community Lehndorf in the unified community Saara , Löpitz became a district of this community on January 1, 1996, until it came to Nobitz on December 31, 2012. While 30 people lived in the hamlet in 1880, there were only ten in 2012.
