history

The project was founded in 1928. After all the material was destroyed by fire in 1943, the dictionary of Upper Saxon dialects was re-established in 1955 under the care of the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig, and collecting began again.

From 1955 to 1977 the linguistic material was collected, scientifically processed, evaluated and organized, including the production of 200 word-geographical maps. In 1978 the elaboration of word articles began. In 1994 the work began to be published by Akademie Verlag Berlin. In accordance with the Hessian-Nassau Folk Dictionary and the Thuringian Dictionary, work began on the letter L. In 2003 the dictionary was completed and the job closed.

The project was formally terminated at the end of 2005.
