Sorbian Institute, Research center for Sorbian studies in Bautzen, Germany
The Sorbian Institute is a research facility in Bautzen dedicated to studying the Sorbian language, history, and traditions. It holds a central library and archives containing materials from both Upper and Lower Lusatia collected and examined by specialists.
The facility was founded in 1992 as a result of an agreement between Brandenburg and Saxony. It took over the work of an earlier research body that had existed since 1951.
The institute serves as a place where visitors can learn about Sorbian language, customs, and heritage that continue in the Lusatia region today. The work here demonstrates how this culture remains active in daily life and local traditions.
The facility provides access to its archives and hosts exhibitions where visitors can learn more about the culture. Those interested in research or in-depth archive access should contact the institute beforehand to arrange a visit.
The institute collaborates with schools and Leipzig University while maintaining a long-standing publication tradition in academic research. This partnership helps keep Sorbian studies alive in the broader academic community.
