  • A Study of Sorbian/Wendish Poetry
    Preservation of a Dying Culture: A Study of Sorbian/Wendish Poetry Samantha Hunt Faculty Introduction Dr. Ervin Malakaj Samantha has undertaken an important project. By translating Wendish/Sorbian poetry from German to English, she is contributing to the preservation of a cultural heritage with important roots in Texas/Texas-Wendish/German communities. Though Texas-Wendish/ German culture has previously been researched, the poems here appear for the first time in English translation. Abstract This research outlines the history and culture of the Texas Wends. The Wends are a Slavic group that originated in East Germany and immigrated to the United States in order to preserve heritage. They are bilingual, speaking both German and the Wendish language. The history and culture of the Wendish people have rarely been studied outside of Germany, and only a small amount of their literature has been translated into English. Due to the interaction with both German and American cultures, the Wendish language and culture have nearly disappeared in Texas and Germany. One common way that Wendish culture has been expressed is poetry. This research outlines how Wendish poems are sites where ideas important to the Wendish culture can be registered. Primarily, I uncovered ideas relating to religious faith and culture, which are extensively discussed in Wendish poetry. Moreover, my work shows how translating these poems, makes Wendish poetry accessible to English-speaking audiences, thereby, preserving Wendish culture for a new audience. ► 59 he Sorbians are a Slavic minority who live in the Lusatia region of Teastern Germany and can trace their history to the pre-Christian era (Blasig 1).

Known as Sorbs or Lusatian Serbs, Wends have lived in Lusatia, Eastern Germany, as a recognizable group from the Middle Ages until today. Just before 1850 some Wendish families emigrated to Australia; then, hearing of German settlement in Texas, Emma Jurk and Bernhard a few Wends came to Austin County. In 1853 Joseph Schmidt, 1907— about 35 Wends entered Galveston to settle in Formerly associated with Texas New Ulm and Industry.

  • THE TEXAS GERMAN of LEE and FAYETTE COUNTIES1 HE Subject
    THE TEXAS GERMAN OF LEE AND FAYETTE COUNTIES1 HE subject of this investigation is the German spoken in central Texas in the towns of Giddings and LaGrange and the many small communities between the two. This area, located in Lee and Fayette Counties about sixty miles east of Austin, was one of the focal points of German immigration in Texas in the nineteenth century. Indeed, the oldest German settlements in Texas (dating back to 1823)-Bastrop, Industry, Cat Spring, Shelby, and Frelsburg-are all located in this general area.2 The region has always retained its German character, as even many place-names testify, e.g., Loebau, Weimar, Warda, Oldenburg, Manheim, etc. And many an English name, such as those men- tioned above and Winchester, Northrup, Lexington, Lincoln, etc., cIoaks an almost purely German community. Of particular interest are the Wendish-Germans, who settled in and about the community of Serbin. The Wends (also called Sorbs) are a Slavic peopIe who, by-passed by the German colonization of the east in the middle ages, form even to the present day the only appreciable non-Germanic block in Ger- man~.~Many emigrated from Germany in the last century to preserve their Lutheran religion and their archaic Slavic mother tongue-Wendish. The 558 Wends who sailed for Texas in 1854 made up the largest group emigration of this The Serbin community which they founded was to remain the only Wendish colony in the United States, and the only other such colonies in the world are in Australia. Many more Wends came to the Serbin area in the years to follow and a number of daughter communities (Fedor, Warda, etc.) were formed.
