About the author

Born in 1788 in Żarki and died in 1867, Georg Liebusch was a German author and Protestant clergyman. Library and biographical records identify him as a pastor, with ties to Senftenberg, and show that he worked within the church while also publishing literary and historical writing.

Liebusch is most closely associated with Sagen und Bilder aus Muskau und dem Park, a book first published in 1860. It gathers stories, traditions, and impressions connected with Muskau and its famous park, showing his interest in regional culture and in keeping local memory alive through print.

A contemporary obituary appeared in Neues Lausitzisches Magazin after his death, suggesting that he was known enough in Lusatian literary and scholarly circles to be remembered there. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the sources checked, so none is included here.
