economy

Gravel is extracted in an open pit to the northwest of Luppedubrau. It is a small opencast mine that moves slowly and does not endanger Luppedubrau or other places. There is a forest station between Luppedubrau and Holschdubrau. Agriculture also plays an important role. The fields around Luppedubrau, which were collectively cultivated by the LPG Heideland after 1960, were the largest potato and rye growing areas in the Bautzen district .
