Bautzen District, Administrative district in eastern Saxony, Germany

The Bautzen District spans 2,390 square kilometers and contains multiple towns including Bautzen, Bischofswerda, Kamenz, Hoyerswerda, and Radeberg within its boundaries.

The district emerged in 1994 through the consolidation of former districts Bautzen and Bischofswerda, following centuries of alternating rule between Bohemia and Saxony.

The district maintains bilingual status with German and Upper Sorbian languages, reflecting the strong presence of Sorbian communities and their preserved traditions.

The district provides comprehensive public transportation networks connecting major towns, with registration codes BZ, BIW, HY, and KM for vehicles.

The Spree River traverses the district from southeast to north, while the Lusatian Mountains form natural borders in the southern region.
