history

The village was first mentioned in documents in 1417 under the name Leippe . The place name comes from the Sorbian lipa for "lime tree". Ten years later the village had to provide 24 men, 2 captains and a wagon for the Hussite War .

The manor's sales document from 1606 shows that an iron hammer was in existence at that time .

With the Peace of Prague in 1635 , Electoral Saxony was able to secure rule over the entire Lusatia during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).

The community was parish in the nearby Silesian country town of Priebus in the neighboring Principality of Sagan . When the Protestant church there was closed in the course of the Counter Reformation in 1668 , the residents joined the newly founded Podrosch parish. Since the inhabitants refused to be parish in Podrosche forever, they were parishioners in the churches of Sänitz , Freiwaldau and Rauscha between 1746 and 1752 , but then returned to Podrosche.

In 1807, the manor owner von Eicke started building his own church and tower. This could already be consecrated on February 2nd, 1808. The neighboring village of Dobers to the west was parish off to Leippa in the 1830s.

During the Wars of Liberation , Leippa was sacked by Russian troops on September 17, 1813. By definition during the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede large parts of the country to the Kingdom of Prussia , as it had previously fought on the Napoleonic side. Among other things, Lower Lusatia and a large part of Upper Lusatia came under Prussian rule. Through the subsequent administrative reform in Prussia, Leippa was assigned to the Rothenburg district (Ob. Laus.) Founded in 1816 . Until the district was enlarged in 1932, Leippa was its easternmost village.

Around 1840 a glassworks with two furnaces provided work for around 80 families. White glass, plate glass, bottles and medicine glass were produced. An earthenware factory was built in 1841.

With the construction of the small train Horka-Rothenburg-Priebus in 1908 Leippa got a train station. In the same year, the church was renovated to mark its 100th anniversary. A new school building was erected in front of the church in 1912.

In the First World War (1914-1918) the parish had 30 fallen dead. A roll of honor in the church and a landscaped with oak Heldenhain on the south side of the school course should remember them. A new bronze bell with the inscription "God has put wonderful things that we do not understand, Glock 'in you" replaced the big bell given in 1917 in 1921.

In the interwar period , the population remained relatively constant at 650. In the course of the National Socialist Germanization policy, the place name of Slavic origin was changed to Selingersruh on November 30, 1936 .

When, after the end of the Second World War, the Oder-Neisse line formed the new border between Germany and Poland as a result of the Stalinist shift to the west, Leippa came under Polish administration under the name Lipa Łużycka , later Lipna .

In the administrative reform carried out in 1975, Lipa was assigned to the Grünberg Voivodeship .

Place name

Traditional forms of the name include Leippe (1417), Leipa (1510) and Leippa (1521). The name is derived from the Slavic word lipa ' linden '.
