History

The town was first mentioned in 1346 in the Meissen Bistumsmatrikel as Lebbusse.

For a long time suspected historians, the castle Liubusua which mentioned Thietmar of Merseburg in his chronicle, was identical with Lebusa. But modern archeology has been able to find any evidence of the identity of Liubusua, the headquarters of the Slavic tribe of the Lusici, and Lebusa. The thesis Liubusua was near Löbsal at Meissen, however, has been corroborated by archaeological finds and is currently valid doctrine.

The Baroque Protestant church Lebusa was built to a design by Matthäus Daniel Poeppelmann 1725, and is equipped with a built by Gottfried Silbermann organ in 1727.

Between Lebusa and Dahme was in GDR times by VEB Leipzig by road built a children's summer camp and entertained, which was left to decay after 1990.
