history
Until the 18th century
The place is mentioned for the first time as Sahsenheim minor in the year 877 , at that time it was owned by the Lorsch Monastery . The founding of the place goes back - as explained further below - presumably to a name "Sahst" or "Sachso" which was very widespread at the time and probably has nothing to do with Saxony in the sense of a geographical name. The German name Luzzelnsassinheim was first mentioned in 1284 . The later known owners were the noble families von Erlickheim , Landschad von Steinach and von Hundheim . The central sovereignty lay with the Electoral Palatinate .
During the Thirty Years' War the place was sacked by the French soldiers. The destruction caused by General Mélac's units is considered particularly bad . At the end of the 18th century, the Hölzerlips gang was active in the region around Lützelsachsen .
19th and 20th centuries
In 1803 Lützelsachsen came to Baden as part of the Napoleonic reorganization . Towards the end of the Weimar Republic , the Reichstag elections experienced a strong radicalization. In 1933 the NSDAP achieved 52 percent and the KPD 21.4 percent of the votes in Lützelsachsen. In 1939 the place became part of the Mannheim district . It was incorporated into Weinheim on January 1, 1973.

Surname
Lützelsachsen belonged to the group of settlements known as Sachsenheim. The name "Sachsenheim" originally comes from a noble gentleman named "Sahst" or "Sachso" who settled in the Hohensachsen area. "Sahsenheim" is also mentioned in many older documents. The three Saxon towns of Hohensachsen , Lützelsachsen and Großsachsen are distinguished by name for the first time from the year 877 onwards: In Sahsenheim minor (Lützelsachsen), Sahsenheim superior (Hohensachsen) and Sahsenheim major (Großsachsen).
coat of arms
The blazon of the coat of arms reads: In a shield split by black and silver, in front a red armored and red crowned golden lion, behind a blue grape on green vine with two leaves. The coat of arms goes back to a court seal from 1738. The lion comes from the coat of arms of the Electoral Palatinate. The grape symbolizes viticulture, which has been practiced since the early Middle Ages.
