No discussion of the economy of Lusatia can be had without a significant review of the carp ponds that both surrounded the Battle of Bautzen in 1813 and have a significant role in the Lusatian economy in 2019. As Petre described in his Napoleon’s Last Campaign in Germany 1813, the carp ponds, of which there were many, could even delay or prohibit infantry from advancing. The Battle of Bautzen in 1813 would be molded by the the restrictions the carp ponds would place upon the armies. Today, the Bautzen area carp ponds spread over 15,000 acres. These ponds provide a high level of tasty protein for an international market. They also provide dining for otters in the region, creating environmental conflicts.
