Lusatian Mountains (Czech: Lužické hory, German: Lausitzer Gebirge), a mountain range in Sudetes, on the southeastern border of Germany and the Czech Republic, east of the Elbe River, a continuation of the Erzgebirge which is west of the Elbe. The Lusatians themselves are an extension of the Sudeten mountains of Bohemia and Moravia, and which join the Carpathian Mountains. The adjacent portion in southeastern Germany is called Lusatia.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Slavs (7656 words)
A division of this little nationality into Upper and Lower Lusatians has been made on account of linguistic, religious, and political differences; this distinction is also evident in the literary language, consequently some scholars regard the Lusatians as two different peoples.

The Lusatian Sorbs are Catholics with exception of 15,000 in Upper Lusatia.
