He was not a little surprised when he met \u201cvery real Germans\u201d there – the Transylvanian Saxons. Anyone traveling through Romania today will be similarly surprised. Transylvanian Saxons, Banat and Sathmar Swabians, Landler, Zipser, Buchenland, Bergland and Dobrudscha Germans live here.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Forum of Germans in Romania and the German Embassy in Bucharest dedicated a comprehensive exhibition to them. Rich in images and informative, it spanned a period from the Middle Ages to the present day. The diversity of life, the community and the rich cultural heritage of the minority were just as much a topic as their role as mediators in politics, business and civil society.<\/p>\n

Part of German-Romanian history is reflected in the collection of the Danube Swabian Central Museum. Taken and left behind, kept as memories and given as a goodbye, passionately collected and accidentally received came to the museum via sometimes winding paths. A selection of these was exhibited for the first time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”118600″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image media=”104065″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”343206″][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ limit_content=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”206437″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”112591″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”139426″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”112594″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”509019″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
