Introduction / History

The Sorbs are a Slavic speaking people who live primarily in Saxony and Brandenburg, regions in eastern Germany near the Polish border. They have two subgroups with separate languages. There are the Milceni (upper) and Lusatian (Lower) Sorb. Another name for the Sorbs is Wend. Historically they were first mentioned in the 800s.
There was a major effort to “Germanize” them in Germany, especially between 1875-1945. After WWII, their home was part of communist east Germany. They clashed with East German police over the communist insistence on restricting religious observations.
