Community structure
history
The area around Liebschützberg was settled as early as the Neolithic Age, as evidenced by some finds in the area. After the Great Migration , around the 6th century, the Slavic Daleminzians settled here. The individual districts of the municipality are therefore mostly of Slavic origin. In order to defend their settlements, they built moated castles in the swampy lowlands of the Döllnitz near Canitz and Borna.
The East Franconian King Heinrich I defeated them in 927 and 929 and brought the first Franconian settlers into the country. The area was then subordinated to the Margrave of Meissen . The place Borna is mentioned for the first time on August 2, 1185 in a document from Margrave Otto von Meißen . In the 13th century there were several major famines and from the 14th century plague epidemics also occurred here. In the 15th century the Hussite Wars wreaked havoc in the area around Oschatz and the Thirty Years' War also claimed some victims, so the castle in Borna was completely destroyed. In the Middle Ages, the trade route leading from Halle via Dresden to Poland, the "Hohe Strasse" (old salt route), was of major importance for the area.
When the community was reformed on January 1, 1994, the communities of Gaunitz, Wellerswalde (with Leisnitz) and Laas (with Klötitz, Leckwitz and Sahlassan) merged to form the community of Liebschützberg. On January 1, 1997, the Borna community was added.
Memorials
