One of the oldest towns in Lower Lusatia, Sorau contains a number of ancient buildings, among which the most prominent are several of the churches (one dating from 1204), the town hall, built in 1260, and the old palace of 1207 (now a prison).
Sorau is said to have existed in 840, and to have belonged to the abbey of Fulda till the 12th century.
With the surrounding district, known as the barony of Sorau, it became the seat of successive noble families; and in 1400 it was united with the barony of Triebel.

 wfk - History
The predecessor of the wfk-research institute was established in 1933 as a department for textile conservation of the Bast-Fibre Institute (a Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute) in Sorau, Silesia.
At the end of World War II as a consequence of expulsion from Silesia the Sorau Bast-Fibre-Institute (now after renaming The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Society into Max-Planck-Society as a Max-Planck-Institute) was continued at Bielefeld, Western Germany.
As at Bielefeld no facilities were available scientists and engineers from the Sorau department of textile conservation met in Krefeld, where a laboratory was provided by the industry to continue their research work.

 Georg Philipp Telemann: a detailed biography
In 1705 he accepted an appointment as Kapellmeister to the cosmopolitan court of Count Erdmann II of Promnitz at Sorau (now Zary), where the vogue for the French and Italian styles provided him with a new challenge.
His association with the Sorau Kantor and theorist Wolfgang Caspar Printz and the reformist poet Erdmann Neumeister as well as the proximity to Berlin and contact with Polish folk music all proved stimulating.
But Telemann's tenure was cut short by the imminent prospect of invasion by the Swedish army, causing the Court to be hurriedly disbanded.

 The Friends of Chamber Music
By contrast his Concerto in the same key for traverso and recorder (TWV 52: e 1) is written primarily in the Italian style.
Its final Presto movement sounds truly rustic and seems to hearken back to the Polish and Moravian folk influences of the composer's early days at the court of Promnitz in Sorau (present-day Zary in Poland).
This piece captures a fascinating point in time when the recorder was still vying with the traverso for the status which was ultimately accorded the traverso.

 Newberry Library | Newberry Consort Repertoire - Telemann
Through his infinite capacity for hard work, considerable personal charm, and knack for nonconfrontational manipulation of bureaucracies, Telemann transformed the musical life of every town he worked in.
Although Telemann held posts in a number of courts and towns, including Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt, Telemann's story can be told in the context of two cities: Leipzig, where he emerged as a musician, and Hamburg, where he spent most of his maturity.
While his behavior to Kuhnau was regrettable, it cannot be denied that he greatly enriched the city's musical life.
