Tot mai mulți sași lasă Germania pentru România după zeci de ani: cei mai mulți revin la Agnita

The Saxon community in Agnita is experiencing a revival as more ethnic Germans return from Germany, drawn by affordable living and a sense of community. This trend is particularly noticeable during summer when former residents visit their hometown, with some choosing to stay permanently after retirement. Agnita, once a significant Saxon center, has seen a demographic shift post-World War II, but recent years have brought renewed interest due to tourism and the restoration of its fortified church. Many returning Saxons express satisfaction with their lifestyle in Agnita, highlighting the benefits of living in larger homes with gardens. The phenomenon of Saxons returning is also observed in other Saxon localities in Sibiu County, reflecting a desire to reconnect with their roots and community.
