geography

Geographical location

Liebon is located roughly in the middle between the two six cities of Kamenz and Bautzen , which are each around 12-15 kilometers away. The hamlet is about 150 meters south of the Saxon state road 100 (Bautzen – Kamenz). The federal motorway 4 runs about one kilometer south of the village, the next junctions are Uhyst am Taucher in the west and Salzenforst in the east.

To the east of Liebon, the Schwarzwasser runs in a north-easterly direction along the towns of Pietzschwitz , Prischwitz , Muschelwitz and Sollschwitz at a distance of one to one and a half kilometers , while the Kleinhchener Wasser flows north-west towards the monastery water about two kilometers west . Other places in the area are Zischkowitz in the south, Auschkowitz in the west, as well as Paßditz in the northwest and Zscharnitz in the northeast. The parish village of Storcha , to whose parish Liebon belongs, is also in a north-easterly direction, about two kilometers away.

geology

The Lieboner Flur is located in the midst of a fertile hilly landscape, whose loess loam soils have soil values ​​of around 63 and are therefore among the best-quality soils in the entire district. The geological substrate consists of Demitzer granodiorite , one in the West Lausitz spread Granodioritart .

In terms of natural space, Liebon is part of the Upper Lusatian region. Liebon is located in a small landscape on the eastern edge of the Kriepitz-Lehndorf-Spittwitzer Lössplatte, which is bordered by the Sollschwitz-Lugaer Schwarzwassertal and the Prischwitz-Bolbritzer Platte.

history

Local history

Numerous valuable archaeological finds in the districts between Storcha, Prischwitz and Liebon attest to prehistoric and early settlement activity. The most important of these are finds from a sand pit between Liebon and Zscharnitz; In addition to the remains of Neolithic vessels made of corded ceramics, a bronze knife was found in cremation graves of the late Lusatian culture . Other grave finds provide insights into the East Germanic way of life during the Roman Empire and into the culture of the Milzener .

Liebon is mentioned in 1332 as Leubobel and 1355 as Lobebyl in documents of the Marienstern monastery . In an interest register of the monastery from the end of the 14th century three farm positions are named for Liebon, around 200 years later there are only two left in 1580. The corridors are large , some of the adjoining corridors to the west are also striped .

Even in later centuries, the low level of development caused only a small population in the place. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, around 20 people lived in the village; The purely Sorbian Catholic population was originally parish to Göda, from the end of the 16th century to Crostwitz , and with the construction of the Storchaer Church since 1887.

Social upheavals arise in the 20th century. In the 1925 census, two of the residents claim to be of Protestant faith; only half of the population is Sorbian-speaking. On July 1, 1934, the previously independent community was incorporated into Paßditz and joined Storcha two years later.

In the period after the Second World War , Liebon briefly belonged to the Kamenz district in the second half of 1952 , but returned to the Bautzen district at the beginning of December of the same year . In 1962 Liebon came to Prischwitz through the incorporation of Storcha. One of the two farmsteads is being demolished, and the agricultural production cooperative (LPG) Göda operated poultry farming in the farm buildings of the other until the fall of the Wall. The fourth and, for the time being, last incorporation for Liebon takes place on March 1, 1994 with the merger of Coblenz , Prischwitz and Göda.

In March 2009, the place gained national notoriety when the Vierseitenhof was offered for sale on the eBay Internet auction platform with the comment " Village for sale".

Place name

In addition to the already mentioned forms of name Leubobel and Lobebyl , Lubabel (1357), Lubebel (1474), Lubawel (15th century) and Lobabel (1519) are documented. The shape of the name changes, so that Lieben (1658), Lüben (1768), Libon (1732) and finally Liebon (1777) are named as newer place names.

According to Eichler , the name can be traced back to the Old Sorbian basic form L'ubobyl ' and therefore means' place of L'ubobył'. Although no comparisons could be made from other Slavic languages ​​for such a personal name, according to Eichler, its existence cannot be doubted. After the German name was abolished , it was transferred back into Sorbian, so that Lieboch (1712), Libono (1767), Libon (1800) and Liboń are documented as Sorbian names.
