The village first mentioned in 1255 Lazs appears in the Atonement Treaty 1346 as a place zcu der Laz . Lossa consists of two parallel street villages and is built according to the ladder system of two parallel main streets on both sides of the stream with five cross connections. In 1525 Lossa was owned by the von Werthern aristocratic family , and the local farmers kept quiet during the Peasants' War.

To the east of the village, on the Großer Windberg, was the Lossa air ammunition plant in the 1930s and during the Second World War . The purpose of this facility was the completion and storage of ammunition for the German Air Force . The ammunition was stored in aboveground bunkers with an embankment . After 1945, under the direction of the Red Army , ammunition, including gas grenades and bombs, was disposed of in neighboring, disused potash pits of the Richard and Reichskrone potash works . The bunkers were blown up.

On April 8, 1945, American fighter-bombers attacked the Lossa train station. In the process, some bombs filled with tabun , which were in the context of the relocation of the Air Force ammunition depot during their transport, were damaged. Exact losses are not known.
