The Samuel-von-Brukenthal-Gymnasium ( Romanian : Colegiul Național "Samuel von Brukenthal" din Sibiu) is a German-speaking high school in Sibiu . The school was first mentioned in a document in 1380. This makes it the oldest German-speaking school in Romania .
In 1921 the school was given its current name in memory of Baron Samuel von Brukenthal , who was governor of the Principality of Transylvania between 1777 and 1787 . Until 1990 the grammar school was a school for the German minority in Romania. Although many Romanian Germans emigrated to Germany after 1990 , German is still taught in the Lyceum (grades 9–12) and high school (grades 5–8). The majority of the students now come from Romanian-speaking families. Today's school buildings were built between 1779 and 1781.
