Slavic tracks in the Wendland and the land of Obotrites
Werner Meschkank of the Wendish Museum from Cottbus will take us on a journey into the history of the old Wends (“Elbslawen”). He will talk about their life in the old days and the faith of these old Slavic tribes during the middle ages. This presentation is in line with our special exhibition “Mysterious ancestors. The life of the Lusizer and Milzener”.
The Sorbian museum is sponsored by the foundation for the Sorbian people (Stiftung für das sorbische Volk), which annually grant benefits because of tax money based on the financial household decided by deputies of the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany, the state parliament of Brandenburg (Landtag Brandenburg) and the state parliament of Saxony (Landtag Sachsen). The museum is also supported by the administrative district Bautzen (Landkreis Bautzen) and the cultural area Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia (Kulturraum Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien). The Sorbian museum is an institution of the administrative district Bautzen.
