Like most historic country keeps Transylvania many legends. There is Vlad the Impaler. Some have a fairytale quality to them. Some are rooted in historical fact, and some have a bit of both. For the Saxons of Transylvania, where they came from is just as important as where they lived. Even the Pied Piper has a bit of the history of Transylvania in the.
The flute of the Pied Piper still calls us to follow him to Transylvania. At least this is what some versions say. The poem by Robert Browning, based on this story, ends with the verse that the children went to Transylvania from the German city of Hameln. Even the folk storytellers the Brothers Grimm have their own version of what happened. As with Vlad the Impaler, this makes for a great story.
The village of Hamelin is where the story of the Pied Piper begins. From there, the Pied Piper was a person who took the children from their parents. Because what happened to the children remains a mystery, many people have their own theories.
-According to some, the Pied Piper led the children from the village in the hills to kill them.
-Let the children according to others on a crusade.
-According to another group left the children their parents for Eastern Europe. Robert Browning refers to this theory in his legendary poem "the Pied Piper of Hamelin."
-Later there was a rumor that the bones of small children were found in the nearby forest. Then demanded there is another theory, the black death the lives of the children.
The story begins in Hamelin where there is a rat infestation. A man comes and offers its services in exchange for payment. The man does this but the townspeople do not follow their part of the appointment. The man then later returned and then played is pipe to lure of the children of the townspeople in a cave.
The Pied Piper and the children were never seen again. The last theory is that the Pied Piper took the children to Transylvania, and these children was the "German Saxony" of space. This would be the end referenced in the Browning poem. The shorter or newer versions of Browning don't end this, but if you looking for the longer version you can read this end.
Like many legends there is some truth to this story, and in Hameln is there a place where many people stop and not forgotten. In this case, for what that they believe that there is a link to Transylvania there, since the childrens crusade to Jerusalem, during this time.
These theories are interesting, but there is a core of truth to the people in the region of Germany (or the provinces and City-States that Germany would be in 1871.)
There are people of German origin who after the 11th century in Transylvania lived. Vlad Tepes (also known as Vald Dracul) treated with them and these people eventually became known as the Saxons. Not much has been written for this people, but they, for the most part, Transylvania left after the second world war.
