Intermarriages in Transylvania are a topic that is still to little scientifically explored. Saxons and Romanians in Transylvania each married in their own circles in accordance with the times they lived.The Second World War, the establishment of communism, deportation and nationalization have changed relations between the Transylvanian Saxons and Romanians. The number of mixed marriages has begun to grow and cultural proximity has become real. Life in Communism has become a collective destiny. At the base of this study are 25 questionnaires filled in by people coming from mixed marriages. The following aspects were analyzed: the name and identity attributed thereto, spoken languages, confession, family life, identity positioning.
This scientific article focuses on Ursula Ackrill’s novel ˮZeiden, im Januarˮ and its aim is to examine the specificity of present-day literature of the Transylvanian Saxons. Starting from the methodological considerations of Jan Assmann and Aleida Assmann, the concept of memorial culture will be exemplified and analyzed through relevant scenes of the novel, in close connection with Leontina Philippi’s approach of writing the chronicle of Codlea. Antonescu’s fascist dictatorship, the obligation for Saxon men to serve in the SS troops, the friendly collaboration between Antonescu and Hitler, the collaboration between German and Saxon military, the role of collaborators at that time, the Saxons’ customs and traditions, the portrait of the Jew of Lipscani street, Bucharest society during the rule of Ion Antonescu are just a few aspects of the novel which emphasize the intercultural character of this writing on the basis of communicative and cultural memory.
Considering the sixty years long existence of the German weekly in Braşov an exhaustive research of the publication on the way from a centralized to a globalized socio-political system becomes imperious. Our article represents a first approach to pinpoint the choice of poetry published by the German weekly Karpatenrundschau during the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties as a consequence of both political compromise and aesthetic demand. In this respect the article analyses the German weekly as one of the main promoters of German poetry written in Romania. The article is based on our research done in the archives of the weekly in Braşov.

Adam Müller-Guttenbrunnʻs novels on homeland and on his age are a precious documentas, They show the Suabian village not only with its customs but they also shed light on its social structures. The reflection on tradition and the education towards a political task make up the goal of these autobiographically marked novels, which stand as symbols of the Suabian presence in the Banat. In his homeland novels Götzendämmerung (The Dusk of Idols) and Glocken der Heimat (The Homeland Bells) the author sets up a monument to the friendly relationship between the Germans and Romanians. Guttenbrunn‘s books actually overstep the social and historical limits of images and thereby take on a kind of representative importance for the research.
