Hermannstadt (Sibu) in Transylvania
(30 March 2022)
Sibiu (in Hungarian Nagyszeben and in Transylvanian-Saxon Hermestatt) is a town in the geographical region of Transylvania and was/is one of the centers of the Transylvanian Saxons.
The first German settlers probably arrived in the area in 1147; they settled on the hill above the Zibin River, today’s upper town. The first written mention of the town dates from 1191 as praepositum Cibiniensem; a priest was established. From 1223 the Latin name “Villa Hermanni” is documented and from 1241 the German equivalent Hermannstorf.
In the 14th century, Sibiu developed into a commercial center of international importance. It was one of the most important towns in Transylvania – perhaps even the most important, as it was not only a center of trade, administration and church, but also had the largest fortifications in the whole of Transylvania.

Piatra Neamț (German: Kreuzburg an der Bistritz) is the capital of Neamț county and is located in northeastern Romania. Literally translated, Piatra Neamț means “Stein Deutsch” or “Deutschstein”, whereby the word Neamț is an obsolete Romanian term for “German”.

Piatra Neamț was founded in the late 14th century as Piatra lui Crăciun and became a renowned center of arts and crafts after the establishment of a royal court by Stefan the Great, prince of Moldavia (1433-1504). The town has around 80 to 100 thousand inhabitants and is always worth a visit due to the historic Old Town area.

It is situated northwest of the town/castle Rupea (German: Reps) and southeast of the town of Sighisoara (German: Schäßburg). Between the 18th and 20th centuries, the village had around 700 inhabitants, mainly Transylvanian Saxons plus a Romanian part of the village. Viscri is characterized by both the fortified church and the village structure, which is characterized by Saxon farms.
The town was founded by Transylvanian Saxons in the late 12th century and was first mentioned in 1185. The fortified church stands at the north-western end of the village.
In the 12th century, before the German settlers, the Szeklers (a Hungarian-speaking population of eastern Transylvania) built a small Romanesque hall church here. Expansion took place in the 13th century. After the first Turkish invasions, the church was fortified in the 14th century and a defense ring with defense towers was built.

Mogoșoaia Castle, near Bucharest
(5 March 2022 / Images: September 2021)
In Ilfov County, just a few kilometers northwest of Bucharest (Romania’s capital), Mogoșoaia Castle is located on the shores of Lake Mogoșoaia in Mogoșoaia. The castle contains a main courtyard and many buildings such as the watchtower and the church ′′Sf. Gheorghe′′ near the courtyard.
The Wallachian Prince Constantin Brancoveanu built the castle between 1698 and 1702 on the widow Mogoș (later named Mogoșoaia) in the Brancoveanu style named after him.
In 1714, when Constantin Brâncoveanu was executed in Constantinople with his entire family, the Ottomans confiscated all the family possessions and turned the palace into an inn. In the following decades, the castle was conquered, destroyed and rebuilt several times, until it was owned by George III in 1912 Valentin Bibesco married the French writer Marthe Bibesco, who was born into Romanian nobility. He gave the property to his wife, Marthe Bibesco then rebuilt the castle intensively.
The castle can be visited without entrance fee, it has a wonderful large park where you can / are allowed, for example, to have a picnic or just laze the day away. Inside the castle you pay a fee of approx. 10 lei (2,10 euro) for parking, restaurants, museums and much more… also an extended walk with the rest on a bench overlooking the lake… many things are possible and beautiful.
Warning… you should not take the camera with you or put it in your pocket!!! Cell phone pictures are no problem, but as a ‘camera owner’ you are already vehemently advised at the entrance that for professional photography you have to pay a fee of 400 Lei (approx. EUR 80).

1 March: Mărțișor
(1 March 2022)
The marquis is a typical March 1st gift in Romania. It consists of a red and white string, usually with a small pendant, and is attached to clothing. The so-called ‘March’ symbolizes spring and was originally worn by women and children. The two colors (red and white) symbolize snow and the sun.
On this day, mainly women receive the marzipan as a gift, lucky charms are attached to the string and as soon as you (or here the woman) see a flowering tree, you throw the marzipan in it and make a wish!
