Quoos , Upper Sorbian , is a square village in the northeast of the Saxon district of Bautzen . It is part of the Sorbian settlement area in Upper Lusatia and has belonged to the Radibor municipality since January 1, 1994 .
geography
The village is located about nine kilometers northwest of the large district town of Bautzen and two kilometers west of the center of Radibor in the loess-covered and gently rolling landscape of Upper Lusatia . Federal highway 96 runs to the west of Quoos .
In the south of the village, a small forest area borders directly on the settlement area. The area around the village is intensively cultivated. In the north of Quoos there is an extensive, structured pond landscape. In the watershed between Lomschanke and Schwarzwasser lies the Litzenteich, which has been a designated nature reserve since 1974 .
history
The place was first mentioned in 1242 as Kazow (e), Casowe, Kas (s) owe .
In the north of the village there is said to have been a medieval fortification. This moated castle was probably the ancestral seat of the von Quaz family. Until 1500, Quoos belonged to the Neschwitzer rule of the von Schreibersdorf, later the lords of Plaunitz from Radibor owned the settlement. Then in 1605 the place belonged to the possessions of Christoph von Minckwitz , who came from the Eastern nobility . In the following time the owners changed until 1759 the feudal status of the manor was transferred to property. Martin Miethe acquired the property in 1803 with restaurant and private brewing rights . In 1804 he built a two-storey baroque mansion with outbuildings. The building complex should be located in the area of the presumed moated castle. Martin Miethet's grave is at the Neschwitzer church.
pest
Around 1600 the place was hit by a severe plague epidemic. The highly contagious infectious disease claimed many lives. The deceased were buried on the 176 meter high Totenberg . Since 1978 there has been a post mill on the Totenberg west of Quoos , which characterizes the landscape . The post mill is one of the oldest type of windmill in Europe and was originally built in 1733 on the Windmühlenberg near Saritsch . The historic mill was later relocated because it had to give way to clay mining. Since 1995 it has been owned by the municipality of Neschwitz.
Place name
The place name is probably derived from an Old Sorbian basic form Kozov- , the settlement of a Kaz . Kaz is the short form of a Slavic full name that begins with the first member Kaz . Another interpretation is based on the translation of the ancient Slavic verb kaziti, which means to spoil and destroy.
Development of the population
The population has remained constant since the first half of the 19th century. Only after the First World War was there a slight increase in population in Quoos.
According to the 2011 census , there were 168 residents in Quoos. The residents mostly lived in family structures. The average age at that time was 41.4 years and was thus slightly below the national average.

Sorbian population
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 174 in the 1880s, including 168 Sorbs (97%) and six Germans. Sorbian is spoken in the village to this day.
Culture
In addition to the custom of carnival ssingens of children with Bittumgang in disguise is also traditional in Quoos witch burning (Chodojtypalenje) in the Walpurgisnacht instead. On April 30th, large piles of brushwood were burned at dusk and a rag-filled witch was placed on the top. The traditional Sorbian custom is part of the tradition of driving out winter and serves to ward off damage. On January 25th the Sorbian Bird Wedding (Ptači kwas) will be celebrated in the kindergarten of Quoos. In addition, the maypole throwing is a Sorbian custom in the village. A maypole as large as possible is set up on April 30th and guarded before it is sawed until the end of May. Then the maypole is thrown.
Personalities
The first trained Sorbian teacher and well-known writer Maria Kubasch (Marja Kubašec, 1890–1976) was born in Quoos. She was a co-founder of the historical novel among the Sorbs. After her retirement, she lived again in her native Quoos.
