The Domowina, with its headquarters at Bautzen/Budyšin, is a politically nonpartisan, independent association of Sorbs, and the umbrella organisation for Sorbian societies throughout Upper and Lower Lusatia. It officially represents the interests of the Sorbian people, and its activities are focused in the Sorbian settlement area of the Federal State of Brandenburg and the Free State of Saxony.
Ever since its foundation in 1912, the Domowina has worked for the preservation, development, promotion and propagation of the Upper and Lower Sorbian languages and the culture and traditions of the Sorbian people. As umbrella organisation, it brings together and supports Sorbs and Sorbian societies in their work, and officially represents their interests in the public sphere and in dealings with parliaments, institutions and administrations at municipal, district, state and federal levels as well as internationally.
