geography

The Bauernweiler is located on the southwest slope of the 335.8 meter high Pfaffenberg above the basin of the Kuppritz water. Bundesstrasse 6 runs north of Peschen .

history

Peschen is probably a late Slavic foundation and was created as a source hamlet on a trickle belonging to the source area of ​​the Kuppritz water. The place was on the eastern edge of the Bautzener Land and had belonged to the council villages of the city of Bautzen since the 15th century . In the Bautzner Eidbuch the place was mentioned in 1419 as "Baschen".

In 1971, the Eiserode LPG unit built a large pig fattening facility immediately southeast of Peschen, which, together with the adjoining cattle barn, formed an agricultural complex stretching as far as Eiserode . As part of the municipality of Eiserode, Peschen was incorporated into Löbau on January 1, 1994.

Peschen consists of four properties.

Population and language

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 38 inhabitants in the 1880s; including 32 Sorbs and six Germans. At that time Peschen was in the extreme southeast corner of the Sorbian majority area. The Löbauer dialect , now extinct, was spoken here. The language change to German took place in Peschen at the beginning of the 20th century. Today Sorbian has disappeared from everyday life in the town.
