Transylvanian Saxon literature, the literature of the Transylvanian Saxons, a Romanian-German group
The front cover of German folk stories from Transylvania (German: Deutsche Volksmärchen aus dem Sachsenlande in Siebenbürgen) by Josef/Joseph Haltrich, published in Vienna, Austria-Hungary in 1882.
The Transylvanian Saxon literature (German: Die Siebenbürgisch-Sächsische Literatur) is a form of literature which represents the totality of literary works written in the Transylvanian Saxon dialect (a dialect of the German language spoken in Transylvania, contemporary central Romania since the High Middle Ages) and Standard German by various Transylvanian Saxon writers in the passing of time.[1] These literary works include both those written in prose and in the lyric genre, from folk tales to poems and prayers. Additionally, the Transylvanian Saxon literature, in a larger sense, can also included works written by Transylvanian Saxon writers in Latin and Romanian.
The Transylvanian Saxon literature can be perceived as a branch of the German literature in Central and Eastern Europe, but also written in a specific dialect and not only in the standard form of the German language (i.e. Hochdeutsch). Renowned Transylvanian Saxon writers include Josef/Joseph Haltrich (a high school in Sighișoara/Schäßburg has been bearing his name to this day)[2] and Dutz Schuster (who is regarded as the counterpart of Ion Luca Caragiale in Transylvanian Saxon literature).[3] The Transylvanian Saxon literature is part of both the Romanian literature and the German literature.
