Löbau, Ancient municipal center in Upper Lusatia, Germany.
Positioned between Löbauer Berg and Upper Lusatian Mountains, Löbau stands at 260 meters elevation in eastern Saxony near the Polish and Czech borders.
The settlement received its first documentation in 1221 as Oppidum Lubaw and became a founding member of the Lusatian League in 1346 with five other towns.
The town hall displays multiple architectural periods through its design elements, reflecting centuries of municipal development and regional building traditions.
The Schminke House, designed by Hans Scharoun in the 1930s, remains open for tours and represents a significant example of modern architectural design.
The King Frederick Augustus Tower, constructed in 1854, holds the distinction of being Europe's tallest cast-iron tower at 28 meters high.
