!!!Lausitz

Lausitz Region, Lusatia, landscape on both sides of the River 
Lausitzer Neisse (today partly in Germany and partly in Poland). Upper 
Lusatia (around Bautzen and Goerlitz) came under Bohemian 
administration in the14th century, Lower Lusatia (around Cottbus and 
Guben) became a margraviate in 1367 and was subject to the Bohemian 
crown. In 1526 Upper and Lower Lusatia became parts of the Habsburg 
Empire, in 1620 Lusatia was pledged to the electorate of Saxony and 
was definitely integrated into it in the Peace of Prague in 1635.
