Tips
The place is called Briesnig - Briesing is somewhere different. The place name comes from the Sorbian word brěza or brjaza for birch.[4] In 1937, the spelling of the name was changed from Briesnigk to Briesnig by the National Socialists as part of Germanization in the German Reich. To distinguish it from the now devastated neighboring village of Klein Briesnig, the place was sometimes also referred to as Groß Briesnig.
