Excerpt from the history of Sibiu: In 1438, the Turks besieged the city, but failed to take it. However, the entire surrounding area was devastated.

As a result of the threat of the Turks, the city had three wall rings built with 39 towers and several large gates. It became the largest fortified city in the Kingdom of Hungary. Hermannstadt repeatedly resisted the sieges of the Turks, who never managed to capture the city.

In 1442, the Turks were beaten at the city gates, Mayor Thomas Trautenberger became a legend. Therefore, in 1445, Pope Eugene IV described Sibiu as a wall and a shield of Christianity.

However, the armies passing by and tanning in front of the city destroyed the entire surrounding area again. Once, the Hungarian prince of Transylvania, Gabriel Bathory, managed to occupy the city through a trick, robbing and expelling all German inhabitants from the solid walls - a bitter lesson, which led to an even greater vigilance and distrust of the Germans.

By 1500, Sibiu already had about 6,000 inhabitants. In the Reformation, the writings of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon came to the city in 1523. In 1543, Protestant creed was introduced because states gave each other the freedom to decide on the faith. On March 31, 1556, during a city fire, the entire lower town and also part of the upper city burned down and about 550 buildings were destroyed.

Hermannstadt was the political center of the Transylvanian Saxons and the headquarters of Universitas Saxonum, a kind of Transylvanian Parliament that dealt with Transylvanian-Saxon concerns until 1878 and was a symbol of political unity and the independence of the Transylvanian Saxons.
