		Germans were the first to introduce Christianity to the Lusatians, but major inroads were not made until the Cyrillo-Methodian and especially Polish missions when Lusatia was briefly united with Poland in the 11th century.

		Prior to German unification in 1871 it comprised parts of the kingdoms of Prussia and Saxony-Lower Lusatia being under Prussian administration and Upper Lusatia under that of Saxony.
