Local history
Burial mounds found north of the locality show that there was settlement as early as the Bronze Age .
The village, which belongs to the parish of Klix, was first mentioned in a document in 1360 as Lesyk and Leske . The place name, which comes from Sorbian, occurs several times in Lusatia and means “little wood”, cf. Upper Sorbian lěsk as a reduction of lěs ("forest").
Around 1777 the village was subject to the Mönau manor. In 1815, Prussia forced the division of the Kingdom of Saxony at the Congress of Vienna . This also resulted in the division of Upper Lusatia between the two kingdoms of Saxony and Prussia, Lieske came to the latter as a border town. It was first incorporated into the Brandenburg district of Spremberg , when the district came under the Silesian government in 1825 with the formation of the district of Hoyerswerda .
After the Second World War , the Silesian part of Upper Lusatia, west of the Lusatian Neisse, was incorporated into the state of Saxony. After the administrative reform of 1952 , Lieske was in the south of the Hoyerswerda district in the Cottbus district .
Along with a change of district and district, Lieske was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Neudorf / Spree to the southeast in the district of Bautzen ( Dresden district ) on January 1, 1957 .
In the course of the Saxon municipal area reform, the municipalities of Kleinsaubernitz and Neudorf / Spree merged with Guttau on January 1, 1994 . This community has been part of Malschwitz since January 1, 2013.
