People
The locals are well-known for gossiping and spreading rumors. An explanation for this is that due to its small size, news can travel quickly and Leubsdorf people, called "die Leubsdorfer", form a strong community. Outsiders, however, might have a hard time getting into the community. This setting also provides fertile ground for jokes about the neighboring town of
Dattenberg , which is due to its more favorable location on top of a hill often a target for teasing.Sightseeing
Besides the impressive castle many half-timbered houses and old crosses are telling about history. The construction of the castle is to be mentioned in the 13th century.The most important celebration in Leubsdorf is the Walpurgis-Kirmes, which is organized by the "Katholischer Junggesellenverein" (The Catholic Youth).
