It is located on the Spree. In 2018 its population was 39,087.
Bautzen is often regarded as the unofficial, but historical capital of Upper Lusatia. The town is also the most important cultural centre of the Sorbian minority, which constitutes about 10 percent of Bautzen's population. Asteroid 11580 Bautzen is named in honour of the city.
