Germans of Romania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germans of Romania or Rumäniendeutsche were 760,000 strong in 1930. They are not a single group; thus, to understand their language, culture, and history, one must view them as independent groups:
- Transylvanian Saxons - the largest and oldest, often simply equated with the Germans of Romania
- Satu Mare Swabians and most Banat Swabians, groups of Danube Swabians in Romania
- Transylvanian Landler Protestants
- Zipser Germans in Maramureş (Borşa, Vişeu)
- Regat Germans, inlcuding the Dobrujan Germans
- Bukovina Germans
- Bessarabian Germans (for the period 1918-1940)
See ethnic Germans for the complete list.
See Democratic Forum of Germans in Romania for their official representation.
