German legacy in Romania
The Royal family
• The first king of Romania
was Carol I, a member of
the Hohenzollern-
Sigmaringen family.
• Carol I not only changed
the mentality of Romania
and its inhabitants, but
also won its independence
and adopted a modern
constitution in 1966.
Even without knowing the
language and despite being
Catholic, Carol I remains until today
one of the most respected figures in Romania’s history.

Ferdinand I• Ferdinand I was Carol I’s
grandson and the second king of Romania. His name was erased from the Hohenzollern Family for entering World War I on the side of the Triple Entente and not the Central Powers, thus honoring the promise he made in front of the Parliament.

However, the most spectacular German legacy in Romania is in Transilvania, where the Germans built several important towns during the middle ages, such as Brasov (Kronstadt), Sibiu(Hermanstadt) or Sighisoara(Schäßburg).
A panoramic view of Sighisoara and the city’s coat of arms.
Ultimately, Germany left us two great kings, the knowledge to make beer, and of course, with some
of our most beautiful cities.
