Germans of Romania

The Germans of Romania or Rumäniendeutsche were 700,000 strong in 1938. They are not a single ethnic group; thus, to understand their language, culture, and history, one must view them as independent groups:

Transylvanian Saxons - the largest, often simply equated with the Germans of Romania
Satu Mare Swabians and most Banat Swabians, groups of Danube Swabians in Romania
Transylvanian Landler Protestants
Zipser Germans

See ethnic Germans for the complete list.

See Democratic Forum of Germans in Romania for their official representation.
