Lauba ( Upper Sorbian Lubow ) is a district of the Saxon community Lawalde in the district of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia .
geography
Lauba is located about seven kilometers southwest of Löbau in the Oberlausitzer Bergland in the basin of the Laubaer water, which is open to the east, on the western edge of the Löbau basin. From the junction of the district road K 7243 ( Schönbach –Ober cunewalde ) with the state road S 152 ( Beiersdorf –Lauba) in an easterly direction to the Lawalder field boundary at the Pfahlwiese, the Löbauer Straße, which runs past the northern outskirts, descends from a height from 402 m to 345 m. The valley is shielded by the Schulberg (425 m), Böhmigs Berg (423 m) and Jockelsberg (407 m) to the west and northwest. From the south, wooded heights (Heideberg at 363 m) come close to the location. To the north, on the other hand, arable and grassland areas extend to Streitfeld .
Boulder clay can be found on 20% of the Lauba's corridors , which is usually covered by a layer of loess clay . With a share of 55% weathered soils, only 25% Pleistocene sands and gravels occur. This results in an average number of arable fields of 39. On the Jockelsberg an approximately three meter long and 1.5 meter high boulder of red, coarse-grained Scandinavian gneiss , which was found there, was erected as a memorial for the fallen of the First World War .
history
The first written mention of the Waldhufendorf comes from the year 1306 with the name "Lube". At that time, Lauba was one of the 20 localities in the Bautzen district west of the Löbauer water , which the Margraves Otto and Waldemar of Brandenburg placed under the upper court of the city of Löbau (Weichbild). In 1540 the parish of Lauba was incorporated into the church of Lawalde and had to pay tithes to the churches belonging to the parish Lawalde . The place Lauba was also mentioned in 1571 in connection with the Löbauer beer dispute as follows: “... during that time, as happened before, one often fell out towards Laube, Schönbach and other villages in the Meile Weg and the strange beer into town fetched. ". In 1620, the owner of the Oberlauba estate lodged a complaint with the elector about the injustice he had suffered during the looting by a band of Bohemian horsemen. In 1626 a terrible plague wave in Löbau and the surrounding area claimed many lives.
From 1631 to 1633 during the Thirty Years' War , Wallenstein moved to Lausitz with 20 regiments. Looting and contributions took place , the judges and Scheppen (lay judges) had to arrive north of Löbau in Kittlitz and receive and execute the “order for deliveries in kind”. The place Lauba was one of them. In 1639, after the Prague Partial Peace of 1635 between the Emperor and the Elector of Saxony, to whom the Lusatia was awarded, the Swedes came and pillaged the Lusatia. Here it is reported: “The Rittmeister Marquart Ernst Benss from the Schlangischer Regiment took what he found from the poor Laubaern for his and his company in terms of victuals, grain and money” “33 bushels of oats, 100 bundles of hay, 1 barrel of beer for the Rittmeister, spices "Chickens, eggs, geese and butter" had to be delivered by the community and the corporal had to pay the high bill that he had made. The total damage in Lauba amounted to 276 thaler and 10 groschen. The associated bad economic crisis also caused the disintegration of the "Rechenberg'schen Ländchen", since hardly any income could be obtained from the farmers' goods or taxes.
Another great suppression began in 1683 when Baron von Hoym Ludwig Gebhardt imposed ever increasing services and taxes on the farmers of Lauba. Both goods from Lauba came into the hands of Peter August von Schönberg in 1768. Two years later, he created the district of Neu-Lauba on Oberlaubaer Flur . Another 50 years later, after the Lauba manor came to a linen dealer from Wehrsdorf, a large part of the Niederlauba manor was relocated. In 1818 Neudorf-Lauba in the Streitfeld as well as other houses were built in various places in Eichbusch , Gubschgrund, on the pre-pond, on the Bornwiese and on the Lehde. This increased the number of inhabitants by two thirds, so that in 1838 Lauba had 957 residents in 187 houses.
The rural community was created in 1853/54 through the amalgamation of Old and New Lauba and Neudorf-Lauba. In 1939, after Lawalde, the district of Neulauba was incorporated into Beiersdorf. From 1945 Lauba was again an independent rural community until it came back to Lawalde in 1994.
Landowner (extract)
Oberlauba
In 1489 Hans von Rechenberg was named the first landlord of the Oberlauba estate. From 1491 Lawbe was for a long time under the Rechenberg family on Oppach . Two estates were founded at the expense of bought-out farmers. In 1519 Hans II von Rechenberg took over Oberlauba. The brother of Hans II von Rechenberg, Balthasar von Rechenberg zu Beiersdorf, also owned the Lawaldaer Oberhof until 1586, and in 1618 his son Balthasar is named as the owner of Oberlauba.
1641 stepbrother Hans Caspar von Rechenberg was supposed to take over Oberlauba, but was still a prisoner, so that his mother had to ask for a delay. He is said to have been killed on December 15, 1662 in a so-called duel against Sigmund von Gersdorf on Kittlitz without witnesses.
Niederlauba
In 1603 Heinrich von Nostitz (coming from the Rothenburg line) bought the Lauba manor in addition to the Rechenberg share from Lawalde. In 1629 Heinrich von Nostitz and his widow Katharina died. v. Nostitz managed the Niederlauba estate until 1651 when it passed to the owner Hans Heinrich von Nostitz.
Place name forms
The place name Lube (1306) is apparently originally a Sorbian forest name for łub = bark, bast, in the German loube, löube = deciduous forest. It cannot be ruled out that, starting from the Sorbian-populated area around Dehsa, Oelsa and Altlöbau, a small peripheral settlement was established here before the German farmers divided the settlement area into forest hooves.
Names were:
1306: Lube, 1481: Lawben, 1491: Lawbe, 1515: zcu der Lawbe

Worth seeing
The former farming village of Lauba changed its character little over the centuries. In the past, only home weaving was added to agriculture. The only commercial operations remained for a long time the brandy distillery of the manor, a water mill and the wind mill (until around 1888) in Neudorf. The place Lauba became a popular place for recreation due to its charming scenic and industrial location. Lauba was called a state-approved resort , which Lawalde owns today.
A large part of the buildings in the village has surrounding structures that are rarely missing a house tree . In 1955 Saupe counted 111 half-timbered houses in Lauba (70% of the total stock, one of the highest values). Many times the wooden room has already been boarded up and the upper floor was hung with slate, whereby bright polka-dot patterns can often be observed. Most of the half- hip roofs are covered with slate and have wide dormers .
The former Niederlauba manor is also striking among the buildings in the village. Its elongated farm buildings are from 1819. After 1900 the former castle was rebuilt. A risalit was indicated in the central axis by plaster pilasters and a gable top, and the entrance was designed with a porch supported by 4 stone pillars. Extensions to the rear are from 1937. In 1946 a teacher training facility was set up in the house and from 1960 it served as a student residence for the Löbau Institute for Teacher Training.
