| | Euromosaic - Sorbian in Germany |
 | | This policy is also pursued at regional and local level despite the fact that Sorbian is encapsulated in the law, since at this level it is assumed that people are bilingual in German and Sorbian. | | | After 1945, formal rights to preserve and promote the language were obtained, but their effectiveness was limited by extensive industrialisation and the prevailing ideology. | | | Films which have recently been dubbed in Sorbian are Die schwarze Burg (from the Slovakian) and Tillebille (from the German). |

| | Sorbian language |
| | Conflagration, the chaos of war and the deliberate destruction of Sorbian cultural assets, especially during the National Socialist period, led to even further destruction. | | | Numerous oaths of office in the Sorbian language, with which Sorbian underlings had to show allegiance, were believed to exist due to numerous oaths that survived from later times. | | | In 1667, the Elector of Brandenburg ordered that all Sorbian texts in Sorbian territories in the Brandenbrug electorate were to be confiscated and destroyed. |
