- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Sechs! Wait, are we haggling right now?
A lot of the region there was settled by Saxons in the middle ages but I've no idea why they called it Siebenbürgen
Probably because it was between seven mountains? (Sieben Berge/bergen?)
Or it's from guarantor (Bürge)? Ginge me a sec, I'm intrigued now.
Unclear. Burgen, Berge, Bürgen, Stühle (?), lots of possibilities.

Thank you for the research. I've been there once, mostly around Kronstadt / Brasov and it's really beautiful and a lot of historical buildings still exist
