history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1340. The name of the village probably comes from Sorbian and means 'seat of the hunters'. The Loitschmühle was first mentioned in 1682. Until the end of the 19th century, Loitsch was a small farming village with larger farms. With the construction of the Weida – Mehltheuer railway line and the construction of the train station, life changed in the village. As early as the end of the 19th century, a spa was established in the village. On July 1, 1950, Loitsch was incorporated into Steinsdorf. On December 31, 2013, the place was incorporated together with Steinsdorf to Weida .
