Luppa , in Upper Sorbian , is a village in the municipality of Radibor . It belongs to the district of Bautzen in Saxony and is part of the official Sorbian settlement area in Upper Lusatia .
geography
The village is three kilometers north of Radibor. It is twelve kilometers to the district town of Bautzen and the A4 motorway. The federal highway 96 is five kilometers away. The closest place is Neu-Brohna approx. 500 meters south. In the north there is a large contiguous forest area. There are several small ponds to the west.
history
The oldest written mention of the place comes from the year 1419. In the 16th century a cross stone was erected on the village square. A windmill is built after the Thirty Years War. An animal epidemic in 1759 had a devastating effect on the agricultural and rural area. In the course of the Wars of Liberation in 1813, both French and Russian troops passed through the town.
A school is built in 1839; school operations continued until 1954. In the same year, the Luppa community was established and was to last until 1994. In a major fire in 1874, five farms burned down. Since there is no fire brigade at this time and most houses have thatched roofs, the damage is considerable. The volunteer fire brigade was not founded until 1924 . A village church is built in 1879; for the relatively small population of the place it is an astonishingly large church. During the municipal reform on January 1, 1994, the municipality of Luppa is dissolved and becomes part of the municipality of Radibor .
Population development of Luppa
The scientist Arnošt Muka counted 143 inhabitants in Luppa in 1884/85, of whom 131 were Sorbs . In 1956 Ernst Tschernik determined a Sorbian-speaking proportion of 41.2% of the population in the municipality of Luppa. Since then, the use of Sorbian in the village has continued to decline.
