history

The places Leubsdorf, Schellenberg, Marbach and the district of Metzdorf von Hohenfichte were created as Waldhufendörfer in the course of the eastern colonization between 1150 and 1200. All places are in the so-called Hersfelder Lehn. Feudal lords of the Hersfeld monastery were the lords of Mildenstein, who are said to have had their seat near Frankenberg. It can be proven that Leubsdorf and Metzdorf were owned by those of Luppelsdorf, since Schellenberg (Dorfschellenberg) is not listed in the feudal book of Friedrich des Strengen from 1378 and Marbach has recently been registered as bought by Wilhelm the One-Eyed. It can be assumed with certainty that these villages were also owned by the Luppelsdorfers. Hohenfichte is only mentioned around 1560, but according to the documents it is likely to be directly related to the seat of the Luppelsdorfers, which is specified in the Lohe, a wooded area between Schellenberg and Hohenfichte.

In Leubsdorf am Rhein, a family from Luppisdorp or Luppsdorf is mentioned. Heinrich is mentioned as a first name. The name Heinrich can also be found several times among the Luppelsdorfer. Luppelsdorf is also mentioned at the Mildenfurth monastery . It can be assumed that these are the same sex. In 1505 the Luppelsdorfers sold the village to Jyronimus Schütz, who sold it to Duke Georg in 1523. Since then, Leubsdorf was the official village of Wettin ( Augustusburg Office ).

Between 1832 and 1837 four cotton spinning mills were built in Leubsdorf, Hohenfichte, Dorfschellenberg and Hammerleubsdorf. From 1860 companies in the wood industry were added. In 1875 the railway was built in the Flöhatal. The village of Leubsdorf existed until 1994 with the districts of Kolonie Leubsdorf (since 1875), Oberschaar and Leubsdorfer Hammer (also Hammersleubsdorf ) and then became part of the municipality of Leubsdorf with Hohenfichte, (village) Schellenberg and Marbach. A striking part of Leubsdorf is also the settlement , a south-facing slope built with private homes, which was supplemented by the residential area An der alten Dorfstrasse from the turn of the millennium .

Parallel to the Flöha there is a 3.5 kilometer long bike and hiking trail from Hohenfichte via Schellenberg, Marbach, Leubsdorf and on to Grünhainichen .

Economy and Infrastructure

The economy in Leubsdorf is structured as small and medium-sized. The economic life is determined by craft and agricultural enterprises ( LPG ). Leubsdorf developed into a commercial location at the end of the 19th century. The emerging woodworking and processing industry displaced the artisanal manufacture of wooden goods, small furniture, household and kitchen appliances. From 1945 the manufacture of washbasins and cabinets began. Later complete kitchens were produced, today by the Ratiomat company. The cotton mill built by Max Hauschild has existed since 1833 and at times employed up to a thousand residents in the area. To this day, the manufacture of handicrafts made of wood is part of the community and has recently been supplemented by companies and trades in plastic and metal processing. On the southern edge of the village, in the direction of Borstendorf , there is an industrial park Borstendorfer Straße with an area of ​​11 hectares .

traffic

Leubsdorf is on the S236 between Augustusburg and Eppendorf . It runs as a main road in an east-west direction through the community and branches off as K7702 (Hammerleubsdorfer Straße) towards Gahlenz to the north. The next motorway entrances are in the north-west Frankenberg ( A 4 ) and Chemnitz-Süd ( A 72 ) in the west. In the lower part of Leubsdorf there is a station on the Chemnitz – Olbernhau line , on which the Erzgebirgsbahn runs.
