Further information about Bautzen

Bautzen (until 1868: "Budissin"; Upper Sorbian: Budyšin ; Lower Sorbian: "Budyšyn") is a city in eastern Saxony, Germany, and capital of the eponymous district. It is located on the Spree River. As of 2005, its population is 42,189. Asteroid "11580 Bautzen" is named in honor of the city. Bautzen is often regarded as the unofficial, but historical capital of Upper Lusatia, and it is the most important cultural center of the Sorbs, a Slavic minority. History: The first written proof of the city was in 1002. In 1018 the "Peace of Bautzen" was signed between the German king Henry II and the Polish prince Boleslaus I. The Treaty left Bautzen (Budziszyn in Polish) under Polish rule. In 1033 the city passed to the Holy Roman Empire, in 1319 to Bohemia and in 1635 to Saxony. During the Middle Ages it was a member of the Six Cities' Alliance of the Upper Lusatian cities of Görlitz, Zittau, Löbau, Kamenz, Lauban and Bautzen. It was the site of the Napoleonic War Battle of Bautzen in 1813. ... Read more about Bautzen on Wikipedia
