history

Luebs

The name Lübs comes from the Slavic word for linden tree = Lipa . The Slavs were followed by settlers from areas to the west in the course of Germany's eastward expansion.

The village or the lands and the forest was after the Thirty Years War and u. a. owned by von Borken and von Borcke for a long time until the expropriation in 1945 .

In addition to traditional agriculture, trade was also represented in the village, and there were still various crafts.

The almost 500 year old Lübser church was rebuilt in 1897 (as a brick building ).

On January 1, 1998 Lübs moved from the Ostvorpommern district to the Uecker-Randow district. Both districts went up on September 4, 2011 in the newly founded district of Vorpommern-Greifswald .

The community of Lübs today attracts mainly young families thanks to its favorable conditions and the quiet residential area in nature. Tourism is slowly playing a bigger role, which is mainly due to the proximity to the lagoon.
