Sorbian Institute Explained

The Sorbian Institute (; Sorbian: Serbski institut, pronounced as /hsb/, pronounced as /dsb/) is a research facility focused on Sorbian languages, culture and history. It is an extra-university institute collecting and archiving Sorbian texts and cultural artifacts making them available to the public.[1] [2] Originally founded as Institute for Sorbian Ethnology (;) by Pawoł Nowotny in 1951, it was then integrated into the German Academy of Sciences at Berlin in 1952. In 1992, the Sorbian institute was established by a treaty of the two German states Brandenburg and Saxony.[3]

The Institute

The Sorbian Institute's main office is located in Bautzen (Budyšin), with a branch office in Cottbus (Chóśebuz).[4] A new office building to be shared with the Sorbian museum is planned at present in Bautzen.[5] [6] The institute is financially supported by the Foundation for the Sorbian People.[7]

The institute edits the academic journal Lětopis since 1952 and two further book series. The "Schriften des Sorbischen Instituts/Spisy Serbskeho instituta" ('Publications of the Sorbian Institute') are published by Domowina Publishing House.[8]

Its staff often take on teaching assignments at universities both in Germany and abroad.[9] The Sorbian Institute works closely together with the Institute for Sorbian studies at Leipzig University.[10]

It maintains the publicly usable Central Sorbian Library (;)[11] [12] and the Sorbian Cultural Archives (;), both accommodated in its Bautzen main office.[13] [14]
