history

The Bauernweiler Strohschütz was first mentioned in 1419 as Stroschitz . The name probably comes from the Old Sorbian word for "guard", cf. Upper Sorbian straža and the related place name Wartha / Stróža . Stróžišćo would then be a place from which one can guard an area. This interpretation fits the geographical location of the settlement high up on a hill that overlooks the area.

The scientist Arnošt Muka counted 23 inhabitants in Strohschütz in 1884/85, all of whom were Sorbs without exception .
