Budar Foundation
The Budarsche Foundation was one of 18 to the 20th century in the poor relief for the Sorbian population of the Lausitz active and beyond Foundation .
The foundation was established by the Sorbian manor owner and Jan Michał Budar from Obergurig , who became known as a farmer's lawyer . In his will, drawn up in 1767 and deposited in the Stolpen office , he had used the entire Meißnian, Upper and Lower Lusatian Wendish poverty as the heir to his considerable fortune. With his death in 1789, the Budar Foundation was created.
According to the will of the founder, persons were excluded from payments by the foundation:
a) which are not of Wendish origin; b) who are still able to work and are able to support themselves with due effort; c) who are impoverished by a dissolute way of life, or who have committed gross offenses, in particular theft and adultery; as well as those d) who can receive the necessary support from relatives or communities.
There was no distinction with regard to a religious creed.
The foundation's income was distributed via the royal government of Frankfurt (Oder) in accordance with the foundation's provisions. The district offices concerned received a pro rata amount each year. The local police authorities put together lists of authorized persons and distributed the amounts to them. These lists are also used today to reconstruct the ethnic conditions in the Sorbian settlement area at that time .
The foundation's assets were destroyed by the inflation after the end of the First World War , so that the foundation ceased its activities.
