A large, diverse database on the Lower Sorbian language comprising several dictionaries, corpora etc. has already existed for several years. This database (www.dolnoserbski.de) is compiled, managed, and supplemented by the Sorbian Institute. It also includes proper names. After establishing detailed, practical information about the grammar of the names (declination), the goal of the next step was to include etymological information. Instead of a scholarly repository of the entire onomastic knowledge about Sorbian names, the aim was to create a bilingual (Lower Sorbian and German) information service for a broader public. However, this requires much more basic information than would be necessary for an onomastician. When, how, and why Sorbian names were coined has to be explained not just in general, but also in connection with individual names. This includes information about the reasons for names, the role of the various suffixes the names were created with, and so on. To compile this extensive information, which not only presents the etymology of the basic morphemes but also full explanations of names, specific text modules were developed for all phenomena and aspects concerning multiple names. For example, an article about one name consists of a specific text about this name along with several of the text modules dealing with, for instance, the suffix and the semantic group to which the name belongs. Furthermore, Lower Sorbian broadcasting contains a series featuring short explanations of Sorbian settlement names and surnames which runs partly in parallel with the above-mentioned database project.

When it comes to investigating minor place names, there is a broad range of methods available, reflect- ing the heterogeneous nature of this class of proper names. Probably the most suitable approach is to examine microtoponyms from the angle of an individual settlement within its boundaries, since it is home to a specific communication community. Seen from this perspective, it becomes appar- ent that instead of merely a set of individual names, microtoponyms represent a tangle of relations between these names as well as of concepts and analogies, etc. To obtain an extensive picture of this tangle, as many sources as possible need to be considered. When presenting minor place names as part of Sorbian cultural heritage, a specific situation applies: the high number of different regional and local collections. Many of them have been published: some cover large parts of Lusatia, while others are confined to individual settlements; some of them are ono - mastic studies with extensive analyses, others are merely uncommented lists of names. Furthermore, there are several handwritten collections in the archives comprising thousands of names. Substantial parts of the study areas overlap. Although one might expect the same names to be found in these different collections, there are in fact remarkable divergencies, as demonstrated here by an example. All in all, Lusatia offers diverse material for research on minor place names. Moreover, the fact that many people are still interested in these names presents a good opportunity for citizen science, which could and should play an important role in future research.

Für die Untersuchung von Flurnamen steht ein breites Spektrum von Methoden zur Verfügung, das dem heterogenen Charakter dieser Namenklasse entspricht. Besonders gewinnbringend erscheint die Betrachtung von Flurnamen aus der Perspektive der einzelnen Siedlung bzw. Gemarkung, die einer spezifischen Kommunikationsgemeinschaft entspricht. Unter dieser Perspektive wird erkennbar, dass es sich nicht nur um eine Summe einzelner Namen handelt, sondern um ein Knäuel von Beziehungen zwischen diesen Namen, von Konzepten, Analogien usw. Um hiervon ein umfassendes Bild zu bekommen, ist es notwendig, ein Maximum an Quellen zu berücksichtigen. Im Kontext der Präsentation von Namen als Teil des sorbischen kulturellen Erbes besteht eine spezifische Situation: Es existiert eine größere Anzahl von verschiedenen regionalen und lokalen Sammlungen. Viele von ihnen wurden publiziert, decken größere Teile der Lausitz ab oder nur einzelne Siedlungen. Teilweise handelt es sich um namenkundliche Studien mit einer umfassenden Analyse, teilweise nur um unkommentierte Namenlisten. Außerdem gibt es verschiedene in Archiven aufbewahrte handschriftliche Sammlungen mit tausenden von Namen. Größere Teile der Untersuchungsgebiete überlappen sich gegenseitig. Man würde hierbei erwarten, dass in den verschiedenen Sammlungen dieselben Namen zu finden wären. Tatsächlich jedoch zeigen sich erhebliche Divergenzen, was an einem Beispiel demonstriert wird. Insgesamt liegt in der Lausitz reiches und diverses Material für die Flurnamenforschung vor. Zudem sind bis heute sind viele Menschen an diesen Namen interessiert, so dass gute Voraussetzungen für citizen science gegeben sind, die eine wichtige Rolle bei zukünftigen Forschungen spielen kann und sollte.
