Sohland an der Spree

Sohland an der Spree is a municipality in the district of Bautzen in Saxony in Germany near the border of the Czech Republic in a region called Lusatia. The river Spree flows through the village. Together with some smaller villages it constitutes one of the biggest villages or communities with about 7,700 inhabitants. The most iconic monument of the village is the "Himmelsbrücke" ; it is said that the bridge will break when someone tells a lie while standing on it.

In each of the three villages of the community one will find a Lutheran church. In Wehrsdorf a Baroque-style church was built in 1724. In Taubenheim is another from the 16th century and in Sohland a church whose oldest parts date from the 13th century. All these churches have a beautifully cultivated cemetery nearby.
