Neuhausen/Spree (Lower Sorbian: Kopańce, pronounced [ˈkɔpanʲtsɛ]) is a municipality in the district of Spree-Neiße, in Lower Lusatia, Brandenburg, Germany.

History

In 1815, Neuhausen was annexed by Prussia, and from 1815 to 1947, it was part of the Province of Brandenburg. As of 1880, it was a predominantly Sorbian village with only 10 German residents.^[3]
