Cölln , Upper Sorbian , is a village in the Saxon district of Bautzen . It belongs to Upper Lusatia and has belonged to the Radibor municipality since 1998 . The place is officially part of the Sorbian settlement area and has 364 inhabitants.
The German place name is derived from the Sorbian name, which probably comes from the Old Sorbian word for "hill" and thus describes the location of Cölln. Ernst Eichler and Hans Walther rejected this derivation and instead concluded the origin kólnja for "shed, stable". The place is also called Cölln am Sande in colloquial language .
