Description
Tara Barsei (The Burzenland) is a historic and ethnographic area in southeastern Transylvania, with a mixed population, predominantly inhabited by Romanians since the exodus of most of the German-speaking Transylvanian Saxons starting with 1976, when they began to immigrate to West Germany with the approval of the Communist Romanian regime. Its heart is the city of Braşov.
GERMAN COLONISTS
German colonization of the region started in the 12th century. In 13th century, the region was given to the Teutonic Knights for guarding the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Hungary against invasions. The Knights constructed five castles, while the German community of Transylvania developed farms and villages to support the forts and settle the land.
