The Transylvania Quiz - With...

Robert Ralf Keintzel

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.
