The Liebenhain colony was founded in 1832 by the royal forest inspector Liebeneiner in the former forest property of the Himmelwitz monastery , which the Prussian state had taken over in the course of secularization in 1810. After him the place got its name, which was first mentioned as Libenhein . The colony originally had 20 places to live. The place had 121 inhabitants in 1840 and 227 inhabitants in 1855. In 1865 the place had 11 more new homes.
On August 17, 1893, the colony was elevated to a parish. In 1933 there were 606 residents in Liebenhain and 688 in 1939. The majority of the Catholic residents were and are parish in Himmelwitz.
