history

Evangelical Church of Schlatt
Zalatna ( Schlatt ) in the Josephinian survey of Transylvania (1769–1773)

Schlatt was founded around 1300 by German settlers ( Transylvanian Saxons ) as a subordinate village on the aristocratic soil . It is assumed that it was founded by Saxon counts from Alzen and Talmesch ; However, it came into the possession of the diocese of Weißenburg . The first documentary mention is from 1318. In another document from 1336 it is recorded that Schlatt (as Hörigendorf) lies in the middle of the Saxon area of the Sibiu Province of the Seven Chairs . After hundreds of years of compulsory labor, the residents, who were called "servants of several masters", broke away from the Weissenburg Cathedral Chapter in 1560, but remained subjects of Hungarian nobles, who they had to do three days a week of labor. The serfdom was abolished completely for the inhabitants of Schlatt only. 1856

population

For centuries the place was mostly inhabited by Transylvanian Saxons. From the middle of the 19th century, the Romanian inhabitants gained the majority. Up until the revolution of 1989 , a significant proportion of Saxon residents lived in Schlatt; after that most of them emigrated. The population, which has steadily declined since 1930, was 183 in 2002, less than a quarter of the 1930 population - 789 at the time, 491 of whom were Romanians and 298 Germans.

Today, Zlagna ( Schlatt ), together with the neighboring villages of Apoș ( Abtsdorf ), Ighișu Vechi ( Wallachian-Eibesdorf ), Pelișor ( Magarei ) and Vecerd ( Bußthard ), is administratively part of the large municipality of Bârghiș ( Burgisch ).
