history

The district was already settled in the early days, on the western edge of the village a burial ground from the Middle Bronze Age from around 1200–1000 BC was established. Discovered. A Slavic rampart was later built above the scale of the Wuischker water , which served to protect the road from Bautzen over the Wuischker Pass.

Blösa was a Slavic foundation, the name of the place is probably derived from the personal name "Blěz". The current Sorbian name "Brězow" is a later reinterpretation that refers to "brěza" (birch). A knight's seat was built next to the Rundling during the colonization period. The place was first mentioned in 1430 in the Bautzen high treason trial against Peter Preischwitz, in which the "Thomis de Blesaw" who was in royal service appeared as a witness. From 1532 Blösa belonged to the Bautzen council villages. The corridors of the extinct village of Brosa were added to Blösa. The "Blesaw" farm was closed in 1625 and its land was sold to three farmers. In the course of time the place expanded to the ground; A row of houses was built on the Wuischker Wasser in which three watermills worked until the second half of the 20th century. Blösa belongs to the parish of St. Michael in Bautzen. In 1950 Blösa was incorporated into Kubschütz. A pig fattening facility was built on the northern outskirts in 1956 and enlarged in 1971. In 1968 a calf barn for 1,800 animals was built next to it.

Population and language

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 134 inhabitants in the 1880s; among them were 133 Sorbs and one German. The language change to German did not take place in Blösa until the 1950s, when German was the majority language for the first time. Since then, the number of Sorbian speakers in town has steadily declined.

In 1969 Blösa had 127 inhabitants.
