For centuries the place was shaped by the Transylvanian Saxons who lived here . He has experienced lasting demographic change since the post-war period : through resettlement and flight , the majority of the German-speaking population left northern Transylvania after the end of the Second World War and settled in Germany and Austria .

In the 2002 census, one hundred people from the Botsch community identified themselves as Germans. The Romanians make up the majority of the population today (around two thirds).
