history

Surname

In 1224 the place was called Lubicz . The name changed to Louize (1274), Lubicz (1317), Lubitze (1328) and Lubisse (1377), then shortened Lubcze (1322) and Luptz (1342) and then in the 16th century Lübz . The old Polish name of the city is derived from the personal name Lubec (place of Lubec), the Slavic local founder. Since L'uby means "loved", Lübz means "beloved city".

middle Ages

Lübz was first mentioned in a document in 1224. Five years later, the " Landschaft Ture ", ie the region around what is now Lübz, falls to the rule of Parchim-Richenberg when the Mecklenburg mainland is divided . After the disempowerment of Pribislaw I and the division of rule, Nikolaus I von Werle came into possession of the region. With the beginning of the North German Margrave War in 1308, the region was occupied by the Brandenburg margraves. The Brandenburg margraves Otto IV with the arrow (Stendal line) and Hermann the Long (Salzwedeler line), son of Otto V des Langen , built the Eldenburg near the Lübz settlement . In Lubeck Detmar Chronicle states: Des sulven Jares weren de marc greven wol with ver dusent groten horses unde contact with vele other volke in edema country to unde Büden dat de vaste hus eldeneborch, dat oc lubyze is gheheten ... . Meanwhile Hermann died. The Brandenburgers had to vacate the Eldenburg at the end of the war. Since 1328 Lübz has belonged to the Principality of Mecklenburg , this was confirmed by Emperor Charles IV in 1348 . In 1352 the place was added to the division of Mecklenburg-Stargard . The line died out as early as 1471 and the city became part of the Duchy of Mecklenburg. After 1456 Lübz received city ​​rights . Lübz became a country town in Mecklenburg and until 1918 was represented as part of the towns of the Mecklenburg district on state parliaments.

16th to 19th century

Grand Ducal seal mark

The Eldenburg was converted into a castle in the 16th century and used as a widow's residence for the ducal family until 1634. Among other things, Duchess Sophie lived here, who had resisted Wallenstein with the citizens . In 1633 she donated the Sophienstift, later named after her, as a residential home for widows. In 1637, during the Thirty Years War , Lübz was sacked by imperial troops. The city was repeatedly ravaged by fires.

The vacant and dilapidated castle was demolished except for the official tower from 1691. The last tower of the former Eldenburg has housed the city museum since October 17, 1976. From 1759 a ducal office was built on the vaults of the old castle. In 1774 a bridge and a lock were built.

In 1836 the Elde was expanded to become a shipping lane, and in 1846 the lock was built. The construction of the roads to Parchim (1845–1847), Plau (1853–1854) and Goldberg (1860–1862) also fell during this period. The brewery was established in 1877. A hospital was built in 1883. The city received a rail connection in 1885, then a dairy in 1889 and a sugar factory in 1894. The arable town became a small industrial town. At the beginning of the 20th century, an electricity company (1904) and a water company (1913) were added.

Recent history

Russian signpost to Plau and Parchim an der Post (2015)

In 1911 the Lübz volunteer fire brigade was founded. It still exists today. The former Grand Ducal Office (from 1815), since 1919 Office Lübz-Marnitz, was dissolved in 1925 and included in the area of ​​the Office Parchim. In 1934 the port was built. During the Second World War, 52 women out of had the Soviet Union in the laying of railway tracks and other forced laborers in the Heinkel aircraft factory labor do. Towards the end of the war it was also planned to set up a concentration camp sub- camp , for which the first barracks were already being built on the Neuer Teich. There is no reminder of these camps.

On May 2, 1945, 90 soldiers from the US Army came to Lübz. The next day the Red Army followed . The building of the former Kreissparkasse (formerly the town hall, until 2019 a food market) was the seat of the Soviet headquarters. Mayor was Paul Koch in 1945, followed by Paul Graepp until 1950. At the end of 1945 the first land reform began in the Soviet occupation zone . 23 new farmers were settled in the area around the building yard. In 1952 the Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) was founded. In 1960 a milk sugar factory (dairy, cheese dairy), 1964 the vegetable combine, 1968 the VEB Getreidewirtschaft, 1972 the Agrochemical Center (ACZ) and 1984 the mineral wool factory (after 1990 part of ISOVER ) was founded. In the 1960s to 1980s, a new development area ("Alaska") with 885 apartments was built in prefabricated construction.

The inner city and the administrative building have been completely renovated since 1991 as part of the urban development subsidy (bridges, open space castle hill, market). The dairy ceased operations in 1990 and the sugar factory in 1992. The hospital was closed on September 30, 1995. The ruin has not yet been removed.

From 1952 to 1994 Lübz county seat was the same circle (until 1990 in East German district of Schwerin , after the country Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ). In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Parchim district. Since the district reform in 2011 , Lübz has been in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district .

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Lübz
 Blazon : “In gold, a gold-crowned black bull's head looking forward with a torn red mouth, silver teeth, a knocked-out red tongue, the neck fur torn off at seven points and silver horns; accompanied on both sides by a faceted red star. "

The coat of arms was established on April 10, 1858 by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, redrawn in 1992 and registered under number 58 of the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification for the coat of arms: The coat of arms, based on the seal image, the SIGILLVM CIVITATIS LEVPTZ - first handed down as an imprint in 1670 - shows the bull's head as a small sovereign symbol of the Mecklenburg dynasty and thus indicates that the city belongs to the duchy, from 1815 the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The stars taken from the seal were regarded as filling images in 1857/58, but retained to distinguish them from the coat of arms of the town of Rehna.

The city does not have an officially approved flag .
