The Kleine Elster defines the setting of Finsterwalde — its course through Lower Lusatia places the town amid the level, wooded and agricultural country of southern Brandenburg. First documented in 1282, Finsterwalde is widely known as the Sängerstadt, or “Singers’ Town,” a title linked to the comic song “Wir sind die Sänger von Finsterwalde,” which made its name familiar well beyond the region. Music remains an important part of local identity, while the compact town centre provides an urban counterpoint to the open Lusatian surroundings.
