The village of Lausen was created by Slavic settlers as a round village on the east bank of the Zschampert (between Göhrenz in the south and Großmiltitz in the north) on the western slope of the Dehlitz-Rückmarsdorfer terminal moraine . In 1234 it was first mentioned in a document as Lusene (Slavic: meadow land).

The bishop of Merseburg had been the ruler since the 13th century (until 1562). After the diocese was converted into a secular monastery , the Electors of Saxony acted as sovereigns from 1562 to 1656 , the Dukes of Saxony-Merseburg from 1656 to 1738 and the Electors (kings since 1806) of Saxony from 1738 to 1918. Both within the Merseburg Monastery and in the Duchy of Saxony-Merseburg, the village of Lausen belonged to the Office of Lützen . After the relapse of the Duchy of Saxony-Merseburg to the Electorate of Saxony, Lausen came to the Leipzig District Office around 1740 , to which it already belonged in 1744.

The village of Lausen had belonged to the manor of the Großzschocher manor since 1551 , so it was legally subject to the Großzschocher Patrimonial Court . In 1665 it came to the von Miltitz family (on Scharfenberg, near Meißen ). Since 1683 it belonged to the manor Knauthain which 1848 in Lausen Vorwerk built.

In 1835 the village, Laußen wrote , comprised 7 magazine hooves , 22 houses and 121 residents. With the rural municipality order of 1838, the village of Lausen became a rural municipality and was given the right to self-government; however, the lower jurisdiction remained until October 1, 1856 at the Knauthain Patrimonial Court.

From 1873 to 1952, the Lausen rural community belonged to the Leipzig district administration , from 1952 to 1994 to the Leipzig-Land district , and from August 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 to the Leipziger Land district . On December 1, 1910, Lausen had 353 residents.

With the Plagwitz – Pörsten railway line opened in 1897 , the community received a train station. The traffic was stopped in 1998 and the route was dismantled in 2005. The station building ⊙ was preserved and is used privately today.

In 1973 the Kulkwitzer See, a flooded opencast mine, was released as a local recreation area.

In December 1979, part of the Lausen district (70.83 ha) was incorporated into the city of Leipzig in order to develop this area with the southern part of the residential complex 8 of the Grünau development area . In November 1985 Lausen was connected to the tram network of the city of Leipzig. The nearby lake and the connection to the tram network made Lausen a sought-after residential area.

On December 31, 1994 Lausen was 2.38 km² and had 405 inhabitants.

On January 1, 1995, the Lausen community was incorporated into the city of Leipzig. Since then, the former municipality has belonged to the "Lausen-Grünau" district in the West district.

The district "Lausen-Grünau" has 12,156 inhabitants (December 31, 2014).
