The Sorbs were officially recognized as an ethnic minority, more than 100 Sorbian schools and several academic institutions were founded, the <a href="/wiki/Domowina" title="Domowina">Domowina</a> and its associated societies were re-established and a Sorbian theatre was created. Owing to the suppression of the church and forced collectivization, however, these efforts were severely affected and consequently over time the number of people speaking Sorbian languages decreased by half. </p><p>The relationship between the Sorbs and the government of East Germany was not without occasional difficulties, mainly because of the high levels of religious observance and resistance to the nationalisation of agriculture.

A small uprising took place in three upper communes of Błot. There were also tensions between German and Sorbian parents in the 1950s and early 1960s, as many German families protested the state policy of mandatory instruction of the Sorbian language in schools located in bilingual areas. As a consequence of the tensions, which split the local SED, Sorbian language classes were no longer mandatory after 1964, and a temporary but sharp decline in the number of learners occurred immediately thereafter. The number of learners increased again after 1968, when new regulations were adopted giving Domowina a greater role in consulting parents of schoolchildren.

In 1912, the social and cultural organization of Lusatian Sorbs was created, the <a href="/wiki/Domowina" title="Domowina">Domowina</a> Institution - the union of Sorbian organizations. In 1919 it had 180,000 members. In 1920, Jan Skala set up a Sorbian party and in 1925 in Berlin, Skala started Kulturwille- the newspaper for the protection of national minorities in Germany. In 1920, the <a href="/wiki/Sokol_Movement" class="mw-redirect" title="Sokol Movement">Sokol Movement</a> was founded (youth movement and gymnastic organization). From 1933 the Nazi party started to repress the Sorbs. At that time the Nazis also dissolved the Sokol Movement and began to combat every sign of Sorbian culture. In 1937, the activities of the Domowina Institution and other organizations were banned as anti-national.

Article 40 of the constitution of <a href="/wiki/German_Democratic_Republic" class="mw-redirect" title="German Democratic Republic">German Democratic Republic</a> adopted on 7 October 1949 expressly provided for the protection of the language and culture of the Sorbs.

For over 1000 years, the Sorbs were able to maintain and even develop their national culture, despite escalating Germanization and <a href="/wiki/Polonization" title="Polonization">Polonization</a>, mainly due to the high level of religious observance, cultivation of their tradition and strong families (Sorbian families still often have five children).

Vydává Masarykova Universita v Brne. pp. 47, 269. <q>O Srbech máme zachován první historický záznam ze VI. století u Vibia Sequestra, který praví, že Labe dělí v GermaniinSrby od Suevů65. Tím ovšem nemusí být řečeno, že v končinách severně od českých hor nemohli býti Srbové již i za Labem (západně od Labe), neboť nevíme, koho Vibius Sequester svými Suevy mínil. Ať již tomu bylo jakkoli, víme bezpečně ze zpráv kroniky Fredegarovy, že Srbové měli celou oblast mezi Labem a Sálou osídlenu již delší dobu před založením říše Samovy66, tedy nejméně již v druhé polovici VI. století67. Jejich kníže Drevan se osvobodil od nadvlády francké a připojil se někdy kolem roku 630 se svou državou k říši Samově68. V následujících letech podnikali Srbové opětovně vpády přes Sálu do Durinska 69... 67 Schwarz, ON 48, dospěl k závěru, že se země mezi Labem a Sálou stala srbskou asi r. 595 a kolem roku 600 že bylo slovanské stěhování do končin západně od Labe určitě již skončeno; R. Fischer, GSl V. 58, Heimatbildung XVIII. 298, ON Falk. 59, NK 69 datuje příchod Slovanů na Chebsko do druhé polovice VI. století, G. Fischer(ová), Flurnamen 218, do VI. století. Chebský historik Sieg1 dospěl v posledním svém souhrnném díle o dějinách Chebska Eger u. Egerland 4 k závěru, že Slované (myslil na Srby) přišli do Chebska již kolem roku 490, tedy před koncem V. století.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Chebsko+V+Star%C3%A9+Dobe%3A+Dnesn%C3%AD+Nejz%C3%A1padnejsi+Slovansk%C3%A9+%C3%9Azem%C3%AD&rft.pages=47%2C+269&rft.pub=Vyd%C3%A1v%C3%A1+Masarykova+Universita+v+Brne&rft.date=1955&rft.aulast=Simek&rft.aufirst=Emanuel&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fdigilib.phil.muni.cz%2Fhandle%2F11222.digilib%2F103713&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASorbs" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-14"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-14">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSułowski1961" class="citation journal cs1 cs1-prop-foreign-lang-source">Sułowski, Zygmunt (1961). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://bazhum.pl/bib/article/273968/">"Migracja Słowian na zachód w pierwszym tysiącleciu n. e."</a> <i>Roczniki Historyczne</i> (in Polish). <b>27</b>: 50–52<span class="reference-accessdate">.

Pierwsza ewentualność sygeruje, że zachodnia eks-pansja Słowian rozpoczęta się kilka pokoleń wcześniej niż się obecnie przypuszcza, druga —że rozgraniczenie pomiędzy Cheruskami a Swebami (Gotonami przez Labę względnie Semnonami przez Soławę) uksztaltowało się — być może po klęsce Marboda — dalej na południowy wschód, niżby wynikało z Germanii Tacyta (patrz wyżej). Tyle tylko, że nie będzie to sytuacja z IV w. Istnienie styku serbsko-turyńskiego w początkach VII w. potwierdza Kronika Fredegara (Chronicarum quae dicuntw; Fredegari scholastici, wyd. B., Krusch, Monu-menta Gennaniae Bisiorka, Scriptores rerum Merovingicarum, t. II, Hannover 1888, s. 130); bylby on jednak późniejszy niż styk Franków ze Slowianami (Sldawami, Winklami) w Alpach i na osi Dunaju. Tyle tylko, te o takim styku możemy mówić dopiero w końcu VI w.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Narodziny+Mi%C4%99dzymorza%3A+ukszta%C5%82towanie+ojczyzn%2C+powstanie+pa%C5%84stw+oraz+uk%C5%82ady+geopolityczne+wschodniej+cz%C4%99%C5%9Bci+Europy+w+p%C3%B3%C5%BAnej+staro%C5%BCytno%C5%9Bci+i+we+wczesnym+%C5%9Bredniowieczu&rft.pages=335-336&rft.pub=Bellona&rft.date=2007&rft.aulast=Moczulski&rft.aufirst=Leszek&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DFY_u2_TUiFoC&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASorbs" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-18"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-18">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFFomina2016" class="citation journal cs1 cs1-prop-foreign-lang-source">Fomina, Z.Ye.

Cervetii означает здесь наименованиесербскогоокруга (pagus) на правом берегу Эльбы, между Магдебургом и Лужицами, который в позднейших грамотах Оттона I, Оттона II и Генриха II упоминается под терминомCiervisti, Zerbisti, Kirvisti,нынешний Цербст[8]. В тот период, как пишет Любор Нидерле, а именно в 782 году, началось большое, имевшее мировое значение, наступление германцев против сла-вян. ПерейдяЭльбу, славяне представляли большую опасность для империи Карла Вели-кого. Для того, чтобы создать какой-то порядок на востоке, Карл Великий в 805 году соз-дал так называемый limes Sorabicus, который должен был стать границей экономических (торговых) связеймежду германцами и славянами[8].</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5+%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B5+%D0%B8+%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE-%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B5+%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F&rft.atitle=%D0%A1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%8F%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%B2+%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9+%D0%93%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B8+%D0%B2+%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE-%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8+%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B2%D0%BE-%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC+%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BA&rft.volume=1&rft.issue=12&rft.pages=30&rft.date=2016&rft.aulast=Fomina&rft.aufirst=Z.Ye.&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.elibrary.ru%2Fitem.asp%3Fid%3D25957680&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASorbs" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-LaetHerrmann1996-19"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-LaetHerrmann1996_19-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-LaetHerrmann1996_19-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-LaetHerrmann1996_19-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSigfried_J._de_LaetJoachim_Herrmann1996" class="citation book cs1">Sigfried J. de Laet; Joachim Herrmann (1 January 1996). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=WGUz01yBumEC&pg=PA284"><i>History of Humanity: From the seventh century B.C. to the seventh century A.D.</i></a> UNESCO. pp. 282–284. <a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/978-92-3-102812-0" title="Special:BookSources/978-92-3-102812-0"><bdi>978-92-3-102812-0</bdi></a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=History+of+Humanity%3A+From+the+seventh+century+B.C.+to+the+seventh+century+A.D.&rft.pages=282-284&rft.pub=UNESCO&rft.date=1996-01-01&rft.isbn=978-92-3-102812-0&rft.au=Sigfried+J.+de+Laet&rft.au=Joachim+Herrmann&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DWGUz01yBumEC%26pg%3DPA284&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASorbs" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Stone2015-20"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Stone2015_20-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Stone2015_20-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFGerald_Stone2015" class="citation book cs1">Gerald Stone (2015). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=ABsmCwAAQBAJ"><i>Slav Outposts in Central European History: The Wends, Sorbs and Kashubs</i></a>.
