history
Local history
Leipgen is first mentioned in 1419, when the Czech King Wenceslas in his capacity as the supreme lord of the Oberlausitz it with other villages of the rule Baruth at Otto von Tremnitz and Hans Henye invested . Until the division of the estate in 1695, the villages of Oelsa, Steinölsa, Förstgen and Leipgen remained with the von Temnitz family. Johanna von Temnitz sold the Ober-Oelsa estate with Leipgen in 1700 to Johann Christian von Heldreich, who in turn sold it again in 1708. Eight other changes of ownership followed by 1802 alone.
Although a church was built in nearby Förstgen around 1500, Leipgen remained in the parish of Baruth for another three centuries . After Upper Lusatia was divided between the Kingdom of Saxony and Prussia as part of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , in the twenties of that century Prussia forced the clearing of now Prussian places from the parishes that remained in Saxony, so that Leipgen, only a little east of the border, moved to Förstgen in 1829 was rescheduled.
The village belonging to Oelsa ( Kreuzschenke since 1936 ) came to Förstgen through incorporations in 1938 and to Mücka in 1994.
Population development
For centuries Leipgen was little more than a place to live for subjects of the Ober-Oelsa manor . At the 1777 recession, three possessed men , seven gardeners and two cottagers were listed.
In the 1825 census, 84 inhabitants were counted, later the population numbers were only collected together with Oelsa.
As of December 31, 2008, 55 people had their main residence in Leipgen.
Place name
The place name appears in 1419 as Lipchen (King Wenceslas' document) and in the same year as Leipchin in a Görlitz town book. In 1490, Leipichen was mentioned in a Baruth document and in 1528 the current name Leipgen was used. The forms Leipichen and bodice found documented use while later, however, sat Leipgen by; Among other things, the latter spelling appears in 1732 in Johann George Schreiber's map of Upper Lusatia.
The Sorbian place name is documented in a Radibor church book as Lipinkow in 1684 , since 1800 the current form Lipinki has been used more widely.
The name is derived from the West Slavic word lipa ' linden '. Possibly the name is based on the form lipinka ( -i in the plural), which explains a substitution of the suffix combination -inka by the German deminutive suffix -chen .
