Buzd (German Bußd (near Mediasch) , Såksesch Buss , Hungarian Szászbuzd ) is a village in the Sibiu district in the Transylvania region in Romania . It belongs to the municipality of Brateiu (Pretai) .
Geographical location
The place Buzd is located in the Kokeltal on the stream of the same name, a left tributary of the Târnava Mare (Great Kokel) . The village is located on Dorfstrasse (Drum Comunal) DC 14, approximately seven kilometers south of the community center and southeast of the city of Mediaș (Mediasch) .
history
Bußd was originally founded on Adelsboden by German settlers ( Transylvanian Saxons ) around the year 1300 , but then gained the Sibiu law in 1318 together with the neighboring villages of the Mediascher See and thus became a free municipality of the Königsboden . The place name is traced back to the Old High German personal name Bozo .
The first documentary mention of Bußd, according to various sources, comes from the year 1334 or 1359. At the meeting of the Mediascher Stuhl, which dealt with a Hattert dispute between Wölz and Baaßen , Count Johannes also took part with the elders of Bußd ( comes Joannes et omnes seniores de Buz ).
In 1516 "Buz" is listed as a free community in the upper Mediascher Suhl with 30 hosts (families), 2 shepherds, a miller and a schoolmaster. In 1532, 61 innkeepers are already attested for the village.
population
For several centuries, Bußd was shaped by the Transylvanian Saxons . After 1930 they became a minority, but in 1977 they made up the relative majority of the population. After the revolution of 1989 , most of the residents of German descent emigrated. As a result, the number of inhabitants also fell significantly. In the 2002 census, 635 Romanians , 286 Roma , 29 Magyars and seven Germans were registered in the place.

Attractions
- The fortified church with the Protestant Marienkirche . The construction of the small hall church began in the 14th century. The oldest part is the octagonal choir with sacristy. The church hall was only built at the beginning of the 15th century, then made defensible in order to protect the residents, including their cattle and supplies, in the courtyard of the fortified church in the event of attacks. At the end of the 15th century, three defensive floors made of bricks were built over the stone choir. In 1846 the hall church was rebuilt and is now a listed building.
