Sohland an der Spree (German) or Załom (Upper Sorbian, pronounced [ˈzawɔm]) is a municipality in the district of Bautzen in Saxony, Germany near the border of the Czech Republic in a region called Lusatia.

For some years now Sohland has had direct access to the Czech Republic by car (but no trucks are allowed).

Because of the beauty of the village and abundant free space to build new houses many young families come to live here.

This way the community was able to minimize the loss of inhabitants over the last fifteen years, even though eastern Saxony lost many of its people because of a high rate of unemployment and a negative birth-death-ratio.

One of the hopeful new industrial foundations of the last years is a small enterprise which produces fuels on the basis of agricultural goods.

All three villages still have a "Grundschule" (class 1 to 4), a mixed Haupt-/Mittelschule (comparable with a lower High school) can be found nearby (Gerhard-Hauptmann- Schule).
