history
The first mention of the place dates back to 1004 when King Henry II. The Monastery Nienburg , among other things Liubsi gave. However, as can be seen from soil finds, the actual history of the settlement is much older. The name of the place could go back to a Sorbian personal name like Luboslav. In the period from the 11th to the 16th century, Leibsch was referred to as Liubsi , Lubisch , Lubusch and Lertbiß .
In 1570 the place belonged to the knight seat Münchehofe of Otto von Langen. Ten farmer's hooves and seven kossats were counted. At that time, Leibsch was still influenced by Wendish / Sorbian. It was not until the beginning of the 18th century that the German language began to spread .
After the district council of the Beeskow-Storkow district had made the decision in 1869 to build a district road between Halbe and Lieberose , work began in 1878. In 1879 a wooden bridge was built over the Spree in the course of road construction at Leibsch, which had been in use until then Furt at Neu Lübbenau . The new road, which also runs through Leibsch, was completed in 1881 and has since provided a permanent connection to Berlin in the north .
In the years 1907 to 1911 the Dahme flood canal was built to regulate the flood, which, starting north of Leibsch, can channel water from the Spree into the Dahme . A canal bridge as well as a needle and board weir were built near Leibsch .
In 1902, a school and ancillary building were built in Leibsch, followed by the construction of the Zum golden Stern inn in 1910 . In 1921 the place was finally connected to the power grid. As a replacement for the wooden Spree bridge, a new reinforced concrete bridge was built over the Spree from 1925. On March 6, 1926, the new bridge was just finished, the still existing old bridge collapsed under a truck loaded with flour. The driver was able to save himself unharmed. Leibsch's population was 296 in 1933 and 306 in 1939.
On May 5, 1923, the local volunteer fire brigade, which still exists today, was founded. Due to the war, the fire brigade consisted exclusively of female members from 1943 to 1945. At the end of the Second World War , Leibsch belonged to the outskirts of the so-called Kessel von Halbe . Fierce fighting took place in which practically all of Leibsch's buildings were damaged or destroyed. The bridges leading over the Spree and the canal were blown up by German troops. Hospitals were set up in the halls of the two local restaurants. In 1954 a military cemetery was established.
A severe hail and storm disaster struck Leibsch in 1959 and destroyed the harvest and various barns. Aid from surrounding communities helped the body shears. In 1960 a cemetery hall was built with voluntary work by the population. In 1980 there was consumption in the same way . The weirs were renewed between 1988 and 1990. The old systems were preserved as exhibits. On December 31, 2001 Leibsch was united with Neu Lübbenau and Neuendorf am See to form the community of Unterspreewald.
