Beautiful video. There are still multiple Saxon villages still left in Transylvania/Romania though. However, they are becoming more scarce as younger generations are moving away to bigger cities.
Indeed, you are correct, and this is very sad. There used to be as many as 300 such wonderful medieval Transylvanian Saxon villages with fortified churches (or 'kirchenburgen' as they are known in standard German/Hochdeutsch). More and more have been rehabilitated through EU funds and Norwegian funds but there are also many which haven't been so far, unfortunately... Southern, southeastern, and northeastern Transylvania is where the Transylvanian Saxons settled the most in the past, hence the highest density of such medieval fortifications. All the best!
I visited Viscri/Weisskirch when I was a teenager! It was so beautiful! The local medieval Transylvanian Saxon fortified church is absolutely wonderful as well! Thank you very much for uploading this great video! All the best and much success! P.S.: The architectural style in which the fortified church was built is Romanesque, I think that's what you wanted to say by 'Romanic'. It's Evangelical Lutheran as well, though initially Roman Catholic, as all Saxon fortified churches prior to the Reformation.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Weisskirch is the Saxon name for the village. It is in the region of Kronstadt (Brasov). I really do not understand why a Romanian language name is used for a historical Saxon village as the Saxons native language is a dialect of German. This is from a purely cultural historical perspective and it is not political. Painting over its Germanic history s really pointless when it comes to language. Each to their own opinion of course ;)
Thank you very much. Danke schön, sehr schön, aber we lange ? Will this stay , as it is ? ( most likely the fortress church renovation from Deutsche money's ! ) As you can see = realy romantic ! 100 yrs ,the rumanians didn't give a damp = old hungarian kingdom street, ( still ok ) etc... Unfortunately, only circa 40 thousand still live in the country ! [ afD need more germans to defend homeland , because the teufelrin destroyed deutchland ready , with unreversible course. Usw....
This is the misleading History of Transylvania. Transylvania never belonged to Romania until 1920 by the Victorious World War l. Power in the Treaty of Trianon! The Hungarian King called the Saxons and settled Them in Transylvania 700 years ago and gave they cultural and territorial autonomy for centuries. (1920) In the 1930 - is about 600,000 Saxons lived in Transylvania and now the number just over 2000.00. The emigration of the ethnic Saxons 1960-1970( ethnic Germans) 12.000 yearly emigrated to West -Germany. The Romanian authorities asked 5.000 German Marks for each one. Transylvania as part of Hungarian Kingdom( 890-1920) for 1100 years. This village built by the Saxons but after They emigration the Romania Citizens take over. The music and the tourist souvenirs are Romanians.
Transylvania belonged to romanians, hungarians has been just a minority. For example between 1830 - 1840 in Transylvania were living 62,3% romanians and only 23,3% hunganians.
Transylvania or Transylvania (in Latin Partes Transsilvaniæ or Transylvania, in Hungarian Erdély, in German Siebenbürgen, in the Saxon dialect Siweberjen, in Turkish Erdelistan) is a historical and geographical region located inside the Carpathian arc, one of the historical regions of Romania. Over time, it was part of Dacia, the Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Austrian Empire, respectively. For about 170 years, between 1526 and 1699, it was an autonomous state, under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, with the name of the Principality of Transylvania. In this capacity he played a significant role in the Thirty Years' War, on the part of the Protestant coalition. With the imperial victories on the anti-Ottoman front, Transylvania came under Habsburg administration, but formally retained its statehood until 1867, being ruled by appointed governors from Vienna. At the BEGINING WAS PART OF DACIA AFTER THAT, IN 900 B. C. The Hungarian population entered in Transylvania at the beginning of the 10th century. Their leaders replaced Romanian leaders and formed a political structure in which Romanians, Slavs and Hungarians coexisted. Around 1015 this political structure was occupied by Stephen the Holy. The conquest of Transylvania by the Hungarians lasted until the end of the twelfth century.
Sigmond Nagy The conclusion is: the Hungarians found the Dacians on the territory of Transylvania, they were the oldest, so it is Romanian territory. HISTORY HAS RIGHTS AND WHAT IS WRITTEN.
Fascinating.
Indeed

Ich grüße herzlich meine Freundin Caroline, zu sehen ab 2.25. Markus
:) Cheers
Nice video.
From Mauritius.
Thank you for watching
Why is it "the last saxon village"? Ive seen many saxon villages especially in Sibiu
I might be the first :))
The filming is great, but the music on the background of the video is totally wrongly chosen. Music is not part of Romanian folklore.
That's true. Thank you for watching our videos
@@TheTravellingFoot 👌🌹
👏🥰🙏
:)
Song name?
The music got nothing to do with the Romania and the culture from there. Its Jewish music. Nice video👌
Cheers

Do not forget as well, that... this is Romania !!!
And not a saxon colony , as it is already in your paranoid mind !
We are in ROMÂNIA, dear...
Besides, the both names are proper used, in german and Romanian, same time.
@@alexakay4648 bineinteles are si un nume unguresc - natürlich hat es auch noch einen ungarischen Namen: Szászfehéregyháza
Romania is full of such villages but they are not of Saxon origin.
Yes indeed 😁
There was no Romania in the 12th century. The Saxons came to Hungary (Transylvania).
well this video has been made 800 later :)
Real Freedom not western prison
😁
Thank you very much.
