Summary/Abstract: Repopulating of Former Transilvanian Saxon Villages. This paper deals with the consequences of the emigration of the German minority (Saxons) in the settlements inhabited by them during the last centuries. Due to this emigration process the villages suffered an exchange of population. We try the reconstruction of, the emigration and immigration process, dependent on the changes of the ownership of houses in selected settlements. Our goal was to study if there are ethnic, cultural, educational, economic differences of this process of repopulating.
