The Satkula at Yuri Brežan

The Sorbian writer Yuri Brežan put the Satkula that flows through Sorbian settlement area for the most part, literary monument. Thus we find in his 1976 novel Krabat or the transformation of the world following quotation in which the brook serves as a metaphor for the Sorbian People:

" Exactly in the center of our continent - like many in this country mistakenly believe, so also in the world - the Satkula springs, a stream which flows through seven villages and then strikes the river, which swallows him. How to atlases, so also the sea knows the creek not, but it would be another sea, it did not take on even the water of the Satkula. "

Also in his book Image of the Father, the brook appears again and again as the epitome of home and a place of romantic love. In reference to these symbols of the Sorbian youth magazine Radio Satkula the MDR is named.

In Březan story "Brother Tree and sister Lark " the writer, however, compares the fish-rich river of his childhood with that " murky, sometimes very murky water-like Gefließe where nothing lives ", which his grandson as Satkula knows, and alluding to the contamination of the creek to the intensive agriculture and more generally to the destruction of the environment by humans.
