It was from here, in October 1813 as fighting reached its climax, that the Austrian Emperor, the Russian Czar and the Prussian King oversaw their armies against Napoleon in the four-day Battle of Leipzig.

Casualties were high on both sides, but the coalition of the three emperors won, turning the tide of the Great War (as it was known to the English at the time) decisively against the French.

[2] There is also a memorial, erected in 1852, on the Galgenberg [de], the hilltop which was Napoleon's command post in the early part of the battle and later, briefly, of the three coalition emperors.

[3] Large-scale industrial development came to Liebertwolkwitz around 1880, with the production processes making use of the Clay minerals mined locally.

[5] The Leipzig-Liebertwolkwitz train station is located on the Leipzig–Geithain railway line, which is part of the long-distance connection from Leipzig to Chemnitz.

The DB Regio Südost regional train line RB 113 runs from Liebertwolkwitz to Leipzig Hauptbahnhof and Geithain every hour.
