history

Leibsch, Neu Lübbenau and Neuendorf am See belonged to the Beeskow-Storkow district in the province of Brandenburg since 1816 and to the Lübben district in the GDR district of Cottbus from 1952 . Since 1993, the places have been in the Dahme-Spreewald district of Brandenburg.

The community emerged on December 31, 2001 from the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent communities Leibsch, Neu Lübbenau and Neuendorf am See.

Leibsch was first mentioned in 1004 as Liubsi . The "Colonie Neu Lübbenau" was founded in the middle of the 18th century. The original name of the place was "Libbenauerei im Schadowschen Busch". Around 1200, the old fishing village of Neuendorf am See was an outbuilding of the Mönchehofe monastery (today Münchehofe ).
