Meuselko village green

The round and dead end village (similar to an anger village ) was expanded on the road to Löben. The place belonging to the parish of Löben had 8 Hüfner and 10 Kossaten in 1528 .

As part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names, the district administrator of the Schweinitz district, with the consent of the municipality, applied in 1937 to rename Meuselko "Elstertal" and thus to erase the Sorbian name. Unlike in other regions , however, the renaming failed here due to the rejection of the responsible district president.

By resolution of the district council, Meuselko was incorporated into Löben in 1977.
