'Ceci n'est pas un chancelier du Reich.'
The sorbian giant Sprejnik. Sprejnik isn‘t chancellor of the Deutsches Reich and its germans - but he is The Creator of the sorbian settlement Budyšin and the sources of the river Spree in the Lusatian Mountains.
I took the famous illustration of Sprejnik by sorbian artist Mercin Nowak Njechornski and added a variation of René Magrittes legendary sentence "Ceci n’est pas une pipe" from his work 'The Treachery of Images'.
The following legend has been preserved in the Upper Lusatian treasure trove of legends about the origins of the three sources of the Spree: The giant Sprejnik, who in ancient times ruled the land between Bautzen and the Upper Lusatian mountains, once carved a large and strong arch so that he could better protect his empire and its inhabitants. To test how far his arrows flew, he shot some to the southeast. When his subjects searched for them, they found the arrows far up in the mountains in a valley. They couldn't be pulled out of the ground with your hands, but had to be dug out. Fresh water began to flow from the holes. The three sources of the Spree were born.
