history

The first documentary mention of the Waldhufendorf comes from the year 1378 with Aldin Schelnberg or Aldynschelnberg . The name can be interpreted as a castle name or a name transfer from the old settlements. The spa town of Bad Pyrmont used to be called Schellenberg (= castle, from which it can be heard ).

Due to the close proximity to Schellenberg Castle , the local farmers were often called in for labor such as hunting and fishing. For this there was a net shed at a farmer named Loohs. The place was the official village of the Office Augustusburg (formerly Schellenberg). August Schumann wrote in the Staatslexikon in 1814: “In this village lies the royal. Hunting stuff shed, where in 1770 the wolf gear and rabbit nets for small hunts and bear traps were kept ”.

The church rises on a rock that slopes steeply towards Flöha. Johann Christoph Uhlmann from Börnichen near Oederan had the building erected in 1777 near a medieval building that preceded it. The old local school, which was combined with the factory school in 1844, dates from 1769. In 1844 and 1903 new school buildings were built.

Cotton spinning by Trübenbach & Schneider (around 1856)

After 1945 an LPG was founded , which later joined the one in Marbach. The factory built in 1838 as a cotton spinning mill operated in GDR times as Plant II of the “ VEB Twisting and Sewing Thread Factory Oederan”. "VEB Plasta" produced strips, hoses and bath mats as well as equipment for the Trabant car .

On March 1, 1994, the previously independent communities of Hohenfichte, Marbach and Schellenberg joined the community of Leubsdorf under this name.
