history
Finds during excavations indicate settlements in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. The first written mention of the place comes from the year 1370. Until the industrialization, the inhabitants of the village lived from the milling trade and agriculture. The farmers from Sorno, like those from Meuro , Klettwitz and Lieske, were obliged to serve in the Senftenberg office . They had to transport manure from the sheep pens to the office's vineyards in the Hörlitzer Flur.
At the end of the 19th century, according to Arnošt Muka, all residents of Sorno spoke Sorbian among themselves at home . In the decades that followed, until the demolition, the proportion of Sorbian speakers decreased continuously.
In the first half of the 20th century, Sorno and Rosendorf were developed as a lignite mining area by Ilse Bergbau AG . The final devastation took place in the years 1971 to 1973, on January 1, 1973 it was incorporated into Sedlitz .
