Summary/Abstract: In the complex political and cultural context in Transylvania at the end of the 19th century, the financial aiding of the Romanian School in Braşov by the Romanian government in Bucharest had a special importance in defining the bilateral relations between Romania and the Austro- Hungarian Empire. Understood beyond his political importance, seen as a fact of the cultural cohesion of the Romanians in all this geographic area, the Bucharest governments struggled to maintain this school funding against the opposed political will of most of the Hungarian politicians. After many years of discussions, all parties accepted the solution of an overall reimbursement as capital of this subvention. This study, describing aspects of a period well known to the Romanian historiography, tries to bring new details and interpretations, based on the researches of Austrian diplomatic reports and other resources found in the National Archives of Austria in Vienna.
