Lessing were born, and the legendary figures Krabat and Martin Pumphut have their origins. This richly illustrated regional book covers everything worth knowing about Upper Lusatia, shedding light on its history as well as its landscapes and towns. It also dedicates extensive attention to the Upper Lusatians themselves, their traditional crafts, and their rich customs and folklore. From the Lusatian fields to the Zittau Mountains, from Bautzen to Görlitz and Kamenz – anyone wanting to learn more about the easternmost corner of Germany cannot overlook this book.
