history

Founded until the 18th century

Langenleuba-Oberhain, church

The Nikolaikirche in Langenleuba was built between 1200 and 1250 in the late Romanesque style. The place Langenleuba was first mentioned in 1290 in a document of the bailiffs of Weida as "Longa luben". At the request of his brother Henry of Wolkenburg transferred Count Heinrich II. Altenburg said Berger monastery Altenburg one talent of silver in the village Langenluben as atonement for the murder of Henry of Kaufungen . The German King Rudolf I took the Bergerkloster under his protection on November 10, 1290. In the confirmation of the privileges, rights and the individual performance of all income and possessions, "Luben major" was expressly written in the document. In addition, Johannes “plebanus” (pastor) appeared in Langenluben as a witness to a document.

The name of the elongated forest hoof village in the Leubabach valley probably has its origin in the Slavic field name "Luben", which corresponds to the bast wood that still exists today. The northern part of this corridor is still overgrown with linden trees. When the forest on the upper reaches of the Leubabach was reclaimed, this district received the addition "Oberhain", while the district at the confluence of the Leubabach into the Wiera received the addition "Niederhain". A castle has been mentioned in Langenleuba-Niederhain since the 11th century , whose owner and probably also builder were the burgraves of Altenburg.

With the extinction of the burgraves of Altenburg in 1329, the Wettins became the feudal lords of the Pleißenland and thus also of Langenleuba. Since then the place has belonged to the Wettin margravate of Meissen , which became the Electorate of Saxony in 1423 when it was elected. After Leipzig was divided in 1485, Langenleuba remained with the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony. When the Reformation was introduced , the Altenburg Bergerkloster was dissolved in 1543. With the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, Langenleuba belonged to the now Albertine Electorate of Saxony. At this time at the latest there was an administrative border between Langenleuba-Oberhain and Langenleuba-Niederhain. In 1551 Langenleuba-Oberhain was under the jurisdiction of the Sahlis manor , which with its places around 1696 belonged to the Borna district of Saxony .

Langenleuba-Niederhain was in the course of time under the feudal rule of the Burgraves of Leisnig , later the Lords of Creutzen , von Zschadras , von Schauroth and von Kuntsch . The place belonged to the office of Altenburg , which became Ernestine again with the Naumburg Treaty in 1554 and subsequently to various Ernestine duchies , u. a. Saxony-Altenburg and from 1920 belonged to the state of Thuringia.

19th century to the present

Station building in Langenleuba-Oberhain

Langenleuba-Oberhain, on the other hand, became part of the Kingdom of Saxony in 1806 as the southernmost place of the Borna district . From 1856 the place belonged to the Penig court office and from 1875 to the Rochlitz district administration . In 1872 Langenleuba-Oberhain received a station on the Rochlitz – Penig railway line . From 1901 the Altenburg – Langenleuba – Oberhain railway branched off from here. The railway lines existed until 1990 and 1995 respectively.

Towards the end of the Second World War, the Penig subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was set up for 700 Jewish women prisoners outside the town of Langenleuba-Oberhain on the B 95 (today: Staatsstrasse 51 ) in the direction of Penig on the site of what is now the equestrian club . From January to April 1945, they manufactured aircraft parts in the Max-Gehre works , which belonged to Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG . Most recently, 14 to 15-year-old girls from Auschwitz concentration camp came to them . Today a memorial commemorates that time.

During the second district reform of the GDR in 1952, Langenleuba-Oberhain was assigned to the Geithain district in the Leipzig district . On January 1, 1994, the town merged with the Niedersteinbach community to form the Langensteinbach community . With this, when the district of Geithain was dissolved on August 1, 1994, the place did not become part of the district of Leipziger Land like most places , but to the district of Mittweida in the administrative district of Chemnitz . On January 1, 2003 Langenleuba-Oberhain became a district of the city of Penig. In 2015 Langenleuba-Oberhain celebrated its 725th anniversary.
