TRANSYLVANIAN SAXON WOODEN OBJECT

Germany - 1806 EA/DE/0036

Saxons are a community with German roots. Since the 11th century, together with Hungarians and Romanians, they’ve been living in the green heart of Romania. From this very land, a major migration is now taking place which marks the decline of centuries of history. Saxons are disappearing and their culture, their tongue, and traditions along with them. After the 2nd World War and Ceaușescu’s communist government, people of this community were forced to abandon their homes. Some wanted an ethnically homogeneous Romania. This object was probably left in Romania after the migration of the Saxon’s in the 90ties.
