The Domowina was founded on 13 October 1912 in Hoyerswerda as the umbrella organisation of Sorbian societies and associations.
The Domowina is committed to working to maintain and develop the Lusatian economic area as well as to marketing it as a tourist area stretching from the Lusatian hills, through Central Lusatia with its chain of lakes created from areas excavated by lignite mining, and extending as far as the Spreewald in the north.
One aim of the Domowina for the future is to achieve a revision, based on the financial level of the year 1998, of the Financing Agreement, which would secure a future level of funding at the same rate, together with index-linking for inflation.
The Domowina was founded on October 13th, 1912, in the Saxonian town of Hoyerswerda/Wojerecy as an umbrella organization for Sorbian associations and unions.
Today, the Domowina constitutes the representative body and defends the interests of about 60,000 Sorbs, who are based within and beyond the eastern German states of Saxony and Brandenburg.
Domowina membership is open to individuals and groups, incorporated and unincorporated Sorbian associations, unions, communities and societies.
