Rezumat
A saxon obituary and other considerations about metropolitan baron Andrei Şaguna
For the last 140 years since the death of the prominent figure of Saint Andrei Şaguna, there bas been plenty of literature
written on the subject. I am sure that there will be plenty of literature on the subject in the future as well, as there are still
new aspects of his personality and its historical reception that have been less researched and known. One of these
less-known aspects of the Metropolitan from Sibiu was sketched by Georg Daniel Teutsch, Bishop of the Luteran Church
in Transylvania, in the Transylvanian Saxon newspaper Siebenbürgisch-Deutsches Wochenblatt at the time of Şaguna’s
death in June 16th/28th 1873. This study restores and analyses for the first time in a larger historiographical perspective
not only the complete article, as written by G.D. Teutsch on July 2nd 1873, providing the full translation of the article in
the Annex, but also underlining some important considerations expresed by the most renown saxon historians about the
Romanian hierarch.
Keywords: Transylvanian interculturality, Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna, bishop Georg Daniel Teutsch, saxon
