Brașov ([ braˈʃov ]; ; German Kronstadt , Hungarian Brassó , historical - as a city in the land of St. Stephen's Crown - also Stephanopolis as well as Cronstadt , Corona and Krunen , from 1950 to 1960 after Josef Wissarionowitsch Stalin Orașul Stalin ("Stalinstadt") ), is a large city in Romania with about 250,000 inhabitants.
Geographical location
The "city under the battlements" is located in the district of the same name in Burzenland in south-east Transylvania , Romania. The city is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains to the south and east . The nearest larger neighboring towns are (clockwise, starting in the north) Sfântu Gheorghe , Ploieşti , Târgovişte , Piteşti , Hermannstadt and Mediaş .
The city of Kronstadt near St. Petersburg has the same German name.
history
Kronstadt was founded by the Knight Brothers of the Teutonic Order in the early 13th century as the most southeastern German city in Transylvania under the name Corona (later also called Krunen ). In 1225 the Teutonic Knights had to leave their Kronstadt Commandery and settled in the Baltic States. For centuries, Kronstadt was, alongside Sibiu, the cultural, intellectual, religious and economic center of the Transylvanian Saxons , who had settled in the region at the invitation of the Hungarian king since the 12th century and made up the majority of the city's population until the 19th century. In the 13th century the Mongols and since the 14th century Turks invaded the city again and again . Around 1500 Kronstadt had around 10,000 to 12,000 inhabitants and was the largest city in Transylvania, which owed its wealth and thus its independence to trade. In addition to the Saxons, Hungarians, Romanians, Roma, Armenians and Greeks also lived here. The Black Church, the Gothic parish church, was the largest south-east of Vienna. With many schools, the city was an important center of Transylvanian-Saxon humanism.
From 1523 the first Protestant writings by Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchton came to the city. The best-known humanist in Kronstadt was the school man and later church reformer Johannes Honterus (1498–1549), who was first a philologist, pedagogue, geographer and printer. After his training in Vienna and further stations, he returned in 1533 as a supporter of the Basel reformer Johannes Oekolampad . He reformed the school system to achieve humanistic educational goals. He opened a printing house and published numerous publications. In 1542 the city, which had been an autonomous principality under Turkish sovereignty since 1541, and the surrounding area could be won over to the Reformation thanks to the new city judge Johannes Fuchs (successor to Lukas Hirscher). In 1543, Honterus published the confessional “Reformation booklet for Kronstadt and Burzenland”, in which he borrowed from the Nuremberg Reformation which he had visited in 1529. The Reformation of the Kronstadt city population was considered complete and other cities soon followed. Also in 1543, Honterus (based on models in Nuremberg and Basel) founded the Coronense course , which renewed the old Latin school, as a humanistic grammar school, on which the later Honterus grammar school was founded. In 1544 he became city pastor, and the Lutheran Reformation continued to prevail. In 1550 the university declared the "Church Ordinance of All Germans in Transylvania" to be binding for the German Saxon settlements. In 1560, denominations other than the Lutheran denomination were banned.
Up until the 17th century, the city and the region were repeatedly threatened by their location on the border with the Ottoman sphere of influence . Kronstadt and its surroundings belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , the Principality of Transylvania and the Habsburg Monarchy , until it had to be ceded to Romania after the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 .
In the period from 1950 to 1960, the city was renamed Oraşul Stalin ( Stalin City) in the wake of the personality cult around Stalin . The new city name took in the GDR of the publishing house people and knowledge in his school atlas on (in this edition 1960). However, the German name Kronstadt is not, although the German names are also given for Klausenburg and Hermannstadt. The monument of Stalin stood on the square in front of the building Bulevardul Eroilor fifth
As early as 1987, two years before the turning point in 1989, Brașov was one of the first cities in Romania where workers rose up in the Brașov uprising against the Ceaușescu dictatorship. Of the approximately 300 participants in this uprising, 61 men were resettled for six months to three years in different cities in the country such as Filiași , Târgoviște , Brăila or Bârlad . Various forms of harassment were also inflicted on their wives.
In 2017, Brașov was awarded the honorary title of “ Reformation City of Europe ” by the Community of Evangelical Churches in Europe .
population
Around 1500 Kronstadt had about 11,000 inhabitants and was the most populous, economically powerful and thus the most important city in Transylvania. Until the second half of the 19th century, the Germans (Transylvanian Saxons) were the most numerous ethnic group in Kronstadt. The Austrian census of 1850 counted 21,782 inhabitants, of which 8,874 Germans (Transylvanian Saxons; 40.8%), 8,727 Romanians (40%) and 2,939 Magyars (13.4%). In 1880 there were 29,584 inhabitants in Brașov, about a third of whom were Germans, Magyars and Romanians. Until the time between the two world wars, the censuses show a slight numerical dominance of the Magyars. In 1941 the largest absolute number of Germans was registered at 16,210; However, due to the greater increase in the Romanian population in particular, the proportion of Germans was only 19%. In the first decades after the Second World War, around 10,000 Germans lived in the city. Since the 1970s, their number has continuously decreased due to emigration to Germany and is now below 2,000. The total population of Brașov rose to 324,000 in 1992 and has been declining since then. At the 2002 census, around 285,000 residents were still registered, including 258,000 Romanians, 23,200 Magyars, 1,700 Germans, 800 Roma and 100 Jews and 100 Russians or Lipovans . In the 2011 census, of the 253,200 people registered, 219,019 were Romanians, 16,551 were Magyars, 1,188 were Germans, 845 were Roma, 75 each as Lipovans and Italians , 70 as Jews, 69 Greeks , 65 as Turks and a few other ethnic groups .
In 2001, 20 to 30 street children aged eight and over lived constantly at the city's train station in Brașov , including some young people between the ages of 15 and 20 who made money through prostitution . Drug-free eight to fourteen year olds could spend the night in the waiting room at the train station. The younger street children in Brașov secured their survival by selling newspapers on the international long-distance trains that stopped in Brașov. But there was a lack of clothing and shoes, especially in winter, and medical care was completely lacking. Most of these street children have never been to a home.
