History of the Transylvanian Saxons

This video covers the history of the German speaking minority in Transylvania (Siebenbürgen), from the 12th century until today. The region of Transylvania today is a part of Romania, but in the past it was also a part of Austria-Hungary, the Kingdom of Hungary and even it's own principality under the influence of the Ottoman Empire.
