    The Sorbs are a Slavic ethnic minority group descended from Slavic tribes who have lived in eastern Germany along the Spree River in the states of Saxony and Brandenburg for over 1500 years. There are approximately 60,000 Sorbs today, with 25,000 speaking Upper Sorbian and 7,000 speaking Lower Sorbian. Most Sorbs are Roman Catholic or Protestant. The organization Domowina advocates for preserving Sorbian language and culture, which has been threatened by open-cast brown coal mining that has destroyed over 100 villages. Sorbian media, theater, music, and books help entertain and inform the population.
