I am sorry but I do not know. Perhaps you can spend some time with google maps and find the answer.

Thank you for this beautiuful and thorough explanation.

Who exactly composed it and around what years?

Zhebin was near the city of Lubavitch?

To Yaakov:

A thoroughly Chassidic city, the city of Zhebin was famous for its fine, accomplished Chassidim.

Some of them were renowned for their intellectual accomplishments. These Chassidim were known as “maskilim,” for they had mastered the art of understanding the most sublime Chassidic teachings. Another group of Chassidim were known as “ovdim.” These were the Chassidim who labored intensely as they assimilated the Chassidic teachings into their very beings. They spent much time refining their emotions.

This song, Zhebiner Hartz, which means “The Heart of Zhebin” expresses the experience of this second type of Chassid, the “oved.” Conversely, the Zhebiner Kop, “The Head of Zhebin” is congruous with the cerebral service of the “maskil.”
