Characteristics

Due to the great homogeneity of the inhabitants - the majority came from Sorbian farming families - the Schleifer costume remained as mandatory clothing within the village community until after the Second World War, and important rules had emerged that were passed on from generation to generation. While these rules were less stringent in the men's and children's costumes, certain colors or costumes were prescribed for the festive and everyday costumes of girls and women for different occasions and ages. In the mourning costume, for example, a distinction was made between deep mourning, mourning, half-mourning and mourning. The costume also showed whether a young woman was single, engaged or married.
