The distinct traditional dress styles in the various regions of the Sorbian people have been a curiosity for travelers over time. As the culture overall has reduced through germanization and a general decline in numbers, the traditional dress has remained steadfast in the culture.
This particular traditional dress is seen in the Hoyerswerda region of Germany to include Schwarzkollm (Čorny Chołmc) which is where the famous 'Krabat' story is located.
