[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 560303, member: 2844"]:D A substantial and very influential minority ever since the Middle Ages, although many were kicked out after WWII. They were given part of a region in West Germany, a country they didn't know, but at least they could stay together. Most are not Saxon btw, but that is what their Hungarian and Romanian neighbours called them. They originally came from the western rim of Germany and neighbouring parts of the Low Countries, and had been invited to come and develop Transylvania by one of the Transylvanian kings. They were known as hard working and trustworthy, which is why they were often employed by the rulers of Transylvania. They had some money to spend and loved their bling.;)[/QUOTE]
