Säuritz , Upper Sorbian , is a village in the center of the Bautzen district in Upper Lusatia and has been part of the Panschwitz-Kuckau community since 1994 . Säuritz is located in the Sorbian core settlement area about six kilometers south of Panschwitz-Kuckau. Some of the residents speak Sorbian .
The neighboring towns are Kaschwitz in the north, Glaubnitz in the northeast, Burkau in the south and Gödlau in the northwest. Federal motorway 4 runs not far to the south .
history
The place was first mentioned in 1357 as Zuricz . The manorial rule over most of the village lay with the Bautzen Cathedral monastery , which meant that Säuritz remained Catholic beyond the Reformation .
Until January 1, 1974, Säuritz was an independent rural community, then it was first incorporated into Ostro and finally on January 1, 1994 into the larger community of Panschwitz-Kuckau.
population
According to Arnošt Muka's statistics , in 1884 out of a total of 157 inhabitants, 86 were Sorbs (55%). Ernst Tschernik determined a Sorbian-speaking population of 38.2% in 1956. As a result, Säuritz was - as it is today - the most south-westerly town in the Sorbian language area in Upper Lusatia.
The place is mixed denominationally. The Catholic residents have been parish in Ostro since 1772, the Protestants belong to the Burkau parish .
