Lower Lusatia, Historical region in eastern Germany and western Poland

Lower Lusatia extends across Brandenburg and Saxony in Germany, reaching into Poland's Lubusz Voivodeship, featuring forests, rivers, and agricultural landscapes.

The region belonged to the Crown of Bohemia within the Holy Roman Empire until 1635, when it transferred to the Electorate of Saxony.

The Sorbian minority maintains their West Slavic language and traditions, particularly visible in the towns of Cottbus and Bautzen through museums and cultural centers.

The area contains numerous historical sites, hiking trails, and the Lusatian Lake District, formed from converted former mining sites.

The region's signage appears in both German and Sorbian languages, reflecting its status as home to Germany's recognized Slavic minority population.
