Known as the city of brewers and weavers, Lubań is the easternmost city in the alliance and was called Lauban during the heyday of the Upper Lusatian League of Six Cities. The diverse cultural influences from over 800 years of history and the former prosperity are still impressively reflected today. The well-kept old town, the monuments, the regional museum and the local specialties fascinate visitors all year round.

In 1346, six towns joined together to form the Upper Lusatian League of Six Towns in order to jointly protect their trade routes. The alliance between the towns of Bautzen, Görlitz, Kamenz, Löbau, Lubań (in Poland) and Zittau lasted almost 500 years and helped them gain economic power. Magnificent town houses, proud churches and defensive fortifications still bear witness to this time and are special attractions for travelers from all over the world.
