The Transylvania Quiz lets you immerse yourself in a history that is little known and even less told. The quiz contributes to international understanding between Germans, Hungarians and Romanians and gives insight into the different perspectives on Transylvania in a playful way. Despite its rich history, culture, landscape and personalities, Transylvania is often associated with Dracula, the film Hotel Transylvania, which takes place in Dracula's castle, or vampires. However, Transylvania is so much more. Transylvania has a unique culture and history. The land of Transylvania is a melting pot of many peoples and has produced great personalities such as musicians, poets, scientists as well as Olympic champions. However, it is not only rich in culture, history and personalities, but also in a picturesque landscape, which is home to a great treasure of raw materials. Learn more about the history, culture, language, coexistence of Germans, Hungarians, Szekler and Romanians, the geography, economy, political situation and generally about the current situation in Transylvania in the Transylvania Quiz. The quiz highlights the living situation of the Transylvanian Saxons, Szekler, Hungarians and Romanians in Transylvania. However, the quiz does not only exemplarily illustrate the life situation of the population groups in Transylvania, but also of the Transylvanian Saxons, Hungarians, Romanians and Szekler outside of Transylvania. For example, the player learns about the Transylvanian Saxons in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Canada or the USA. Transylvania has a lot to offer and the Transylvanian quiz awaits you with many questions. History is more than just the past, it explains the present and gives us ideas for the future. The quiz game is a game for young and old. It can be guessed and puzzled with the whole family and friends. But Transylvania Quiz as a tool can also be used by teachers to accompany and complement lessons.

The Transylvania Quiz As An App
FOREWORD
We are three people in the development team, Robert, Sina and Akos. Robert was interested in history and especially in Transylvania from an early age, so in 2009 he decided to organize a lecture about "The Schools in Transylvania" with the Association of Transylvanian Saxons in his school. There was already little known about Transylvania at that time. The lecture was received with great interest but also astonishment. For example, the students and teachers at Robert's school were astonished that at that time 20,000 young people were studying in German-speaking educational institutions in Transylvania and Romania. For many of the students and teachers Transylvania and its minorities especially its German minority was not known.
Sina developed a quiz app about Finland in 2020-2021 from this came the common idea to develop a quiz app about Transylvania in order to preserve and promote the culture of Transylvania as well as the minorities living in it. The quiz was first published as a quiz app in English, Hungarian and Romanian. The translation was done by Akos Keintzel and Robert Keintzel.
The quiz is in the spirit of Klafki's Categorical Concept of Education. Thus, among other things, the quiz is intended to be exemplary and relevant to life in order to promote self-determination, co-determination, and solidarity. Historical multiperspectivity is elementary for the creation or strengthening of a critical historical consciousness for us.
In order for everyone to participate, the quiz has been written in English, German, Hungarian and Romanian. The quiz is available in the other languages as an app and in several languages in book form. The aim is not to provide tendentious or simple truths, but sound and critical information that is at the same time exemplary and relevant to life.
One copy of the book in German and one in English were given to the Transylvanian Institute/ Transylvanian Library for documentation, so that the Transylvanian Quiz can be documented as an important cultural asset.

Transylvania is characterized by a highland with many hills and towns with names in different languages, which are enclosed by the Carpathians. The most important rivers are the Alt, the Mieresch as well as in the north the Samosh.
The people of Transylvania live with a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. The land is fertile and is home to a great variety of plants and animals. Thus, numerous wild animals can also be found in the forests of Transylvania, such as the brown bear
