[1] It is characterized by residential areas from the Wilhelminian period, an Art Nouveau villa colony and mostly disused industrial plants.

The commercial area on Schomburgkstraße is in the Leutzsch quarter, but is counted as part of the statistical district of Neulindenau.

The village was first mentioned in documents under the name Luszh in 1285, when Margrave Frederick Tuta von Landsberg sold it to the Bishop of Merseburg.

Ten years later, he enfeoffed the knight Heinricus de Lvitz (Heinrich von Leutzsch) with the Leutzscher Sattelhof.

In place of the old estate, a manor house was built around 1700, which was surrounded by a moat and therefore bore the popular name "Wasserschloss" (demolished in 1970, the area is now a park).

Leutzsch and the eastern part remained with the Kingdom of Saxony and was incorporated into the Kreisamt Leipzig.

[6] The coat of arms of the Lords of Leutzsch shows a linden tree with roots and crown, surrounded by two five-leaf roses.
