This document discusses the migration and origins of two major populations in Romania - the Hungarians and Saxons. The Hungarians migrated westward in the 9th century and settled in Transylvania, expanding their territory and bringing Christianity. The Saxons were invited by Hungarian kings in the 12th century to strengthen Hungarian control in Transylvania and support economic development. They settled in the region between the Mures and Olt rivers, dividing it into "Seven Citadels" including Sibiu, Brasov, and Sighisoara. Both groups were organized into counties under the Hungarian king and were predominantly Catholic, though the Saxons also adopted Lutheranism. Today, schools in Sibiu teach in both German and HungarianProiect engleza,sem II

While people traditionally lived from farming and animal husbandry, tourism has recently become a new industry as many have transformed traditional Saxon houses into guesthouses. The fortified church of Viscri is part of UNESCO's World Heritage sites and is the main landmark of the village, rising above the gentle hills representing an unchanged traditional atmosphere. A visit to Viscri provides an authentic experience of traveling back in time to a purer way of life far from modern civilization.Vatra Dornei - History and geography

- 1. University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, MIEADR, IMAPA 2019 Coord. Teacher: Student: Lect. Univ. Dr. Mihai Daniel Andrei Toma Frumușelu
- 2. Biertan is a commune in central Romania, in the north of the Sibiu County, 80 km north of Sibiu and 29 km east of Mediaş. Biertan is one of the most important Saxon villages with fortified churches in Transylvania, having been on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1993. The Biertan fortified church was the see of the Lutheran Evangelical Bishop in Transylvania between 1572 and 1867. The commune is composed of three villages: Biertan, Copșa Mare (Gross-Kopisch; Nagykapus) and Richiș (Reichesdorf; Riomfalva), each of which has a fortified church.
- 3. Location of Biertan, Sibiu
- 5. History The first documentary testimony about the village dates from 1283 in a document about the taxes paid by the inhabitants of 7 villages and so it is believed to have been founded sometime between 1224 and 1283 by Transylvanian Saxons. The village settlement quickly developed into an important market town and by 1510 Biertan supported a population of about 5,000 people. Between 1468 and the 16th century a small fortified church (die Kirchenburg) was constructed and developed. After the medieval period the town declined in importance with the rise of neighbouring Sighișoara.
- 7. During World War II many men were conscripted into the Romanian army and later the Waffen-SS. After the war many Transylvanian Saxons were expelled from the region. Following the collapse of Communism in 1990 many more left for Germany. Today the whole commune has a population of about 2,500 and the village of Biertan alone has about 1,600 people. It is one of the most visited villages in Transylvania, being the historically important place of the annual reunion of the Transylvanian Saxons, many of whom now live in Germany.
- 9. The fortified Church of Biertan was the Evangelic Episcopal See for 300 years (1572 – 1867), and the religious centre for the Saxons in Transylvania. In 1993 it was included in the UNESCO world patrimony, being considered the most valuable of the seven Saxon attraction points included on that list. Built between the 15th and 16th century, in Gothic style and with Renaissance influences, this monument is the one that keeps best its initial aspect. The total surface of the complex covers almost 1 hectare.
