there are no more Transylvanian saxons, the majority were sold back to Germany in the 70s and 80s for 5,000 deutsch marks per head

19th and 20th century population figures
(Starting with the 1930 figures, the reference is to all German-speaking groups in Romania.)
* 1880: 211,748 * 1890: 217,640 * 1900: 233,019 * 1910: 234,085 * 1930: 745,421 * 1956: 384,708 * 1977: 359,109 * 1992: 119,462 * 2002: 60,088

you say not to use "wiki"....but thats where you've gotten these statistics? ? wiki is a very unreliable source, as are official rumanian stats. There have always been excess of 500,000 saxons in Transylvania, until the selling began. I doubt there are 60,000 left.
