Bramborski Serbski Casnik
The Bramborski Serbski Casnik (also Bramborski Serski Casnik , Bramborski ßerski Zassnik , German Brandenburgische Wendish / Sorbische Zeitung ) was the first newspaper that published articles in the Lower Sorbian language and thus addressed the Wends (Lower Sorbs) in Niederlausitz and the city of Cottbus . It appeared under this name from 1848 to 1880.
history
In 1848 the Bramborski ßerski Zassnik was founded by Pastor Mato Nowka with the support of large German landowners. (There was still no uniform Lower Sorbian spelling; German letters were written according to the ear.)
Between 1881 and 1885 the sheet appeared as Bramborske Nowiny and from 1886 to 1918 as Bramborski Casnik . From 1921 until it was closed after the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the newspaper was called Serbski Casnik ("Sorbische Zeitung"). The most influential editor-in-chief of Casnik was the teacher Kito Šwjela (1836–1922), who was responsible for the content of the paper for over 50 years.
In the tradition of Casnik, Nowy Casnik has been published as a weekly newspaper by Domowina-Verlag since 1954 .
