The Mărginimea Sibiului (or shortened: Mărginime ), Hungarian Szeben-Hegyalja ( German about “ Hermannstädter Randgebiet ”) is an ethnographically important region in Transylvania , south and southwest of Hermannstadt ( Sibiu ) in the Sibiu district.

location

The region between the Zoodt ( Sadu ) and the Schwarzbach ( Râul Săcel ) is located at the foot of the Zibins Mountains ( Munții Cindrel ). Although in the direct vicinity of the formerly largely Transylvanian Saxon settlements in the north, the Mărginimea Sibiului is one of the most traditional Romanian areas of the country.

The Transylvanian Saxon town of Talmesch ( Tălmaciu ) can be seen as an exception , which is why many locals do not count it as part of the Mărginime.

Occasionally, the towns of Cisnădie ( Heltau ), Cisnădioara ( Michelsberg ), Mohu ( Moichen ), Veștem ( west ), Bungard ( Baumgarten ), Șelimbăr ( Schellenberg ), Cristian ( Großau ) and Săcel ( Schwarzwasser ) to the north are also counted to the region.

History and culture

In Tilişca, the remains of a Dacian fortress were uncovered, so that it can be assumed that the area was inhabited since the earliest times.

The village of Răşinari was mentioned in a document in 1204 - as the first of the settlements in the Mărginime. Similar to the " Fagaras Country" ( Ţara Făgăraşului , now largely in Braşov County ), were the mărginimea sibiului parts over the centuries occasionally to the Voivod of Wallachia (z. B. in the 14th and 15th centuries to Mircea I of Wallachia ) forgive.

An upswing in cultural life was brought about by the fact that many Romanians belonged to the Greek Catholic denomination, which was advantageous during the Habsburg era , and later by the establishment of Romanian Orthodox church buildings sponsored by Joseph II . (See: Selection of Distinctive Personalities )

Characteristic for the region are the village architecture as well as the rural customs and the traditional costumes, which differ depending on the locality, but mostly only in black and white .

The people

The inhabitants of the Mărginimea Sibiului traditionally dealt mainly with sheep breeding and wood processing . Due to the geographical location and the shepherd existence, a continuous connection to the Romanian south ( Wallachia ) was ensured.
