history

The place was first mentioned in a document as Breßen magnum in 1419. The place name is derived from the Old Sorbian basic form * Prezdrěń from prez 'through' and drěn 'breached, torn through' (cf. Upper Sorbian přez and drěć , tear) and refers to a Forest breakthrough. Other German place name forms were Presern 1535, Pssysdrin 1580 and from 1615 finally Brösern . The addition of the name Groß was added around 1658.

From an administrative point of view, the place belonged to the Milkwitz manor and church to Göda until 1809 , after which Großbrösern moved to the parish of Neschwitz . From July 25, 1952, the place belonged to the Bautzen district in the GDR district of Dresden . The community Milkwitz, to which Großbrösern belonged, was dissolved on January 1, 1973 and Großbrösern became a district of Kleinwelka . With the incorporation of Kleinwelkas to Bautzen on October 1, 1998, Großbrösern was reclassified to Radibor .

Population and language

In 1580, eight gardener and three cottager families were registered as residents for Großbrösern, although Kleinbrösern was not recorded separately; in 1777 there were seven gardeners and two cottagers. Großbrösern had 57 inhabitants in 1834, as did 1871. The 1890 census found 52 inhabitants in Großbrösern and 27 in Kleinbrösern.

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a Sorbian-speaking population of 86 percent in the entire municipality of Milkwitz in the 1880s. Since then, the use of the Sorbian language has decreased significantly.
