Lower Lusatia (German: Niederlausitz, Lower Sorbian: Dolna Łužyca, Upper Sorbian: Delnja Łužica, Czech: Dolní Lužice, Polish: Łużyce Dolne) is a historical region stretching from the southeast of the Brandenburg state of Germany to the southwest of the Lubusz Voivodeship in Poland. Important towns beside the historic capital Lübben include Calau, Cottbus, Guben (Gubin), Luckau, Spremberg, Finsterwalde, Senftenberg and Żary. Lower Lusatia is a settlement area of the Sorbs whose endangered Lower Sorbian language, a West Slavic language is related to Upper Sorbian and Polish.
The area within the North German plain is characterised by forests and meadows. Between Lower Lusatia and the southern Upper Lusatia is a hill region called Grenzwall, meaning "border dyke", the eastern continuation of the Fläming Heath. In the Middle Ages this area had dense forests, so it represented a major obstacle to civilian and military traffic. In the glacial valley south of it the Spree river branches out into the Spreewald wetlands.
