Excerpt: This is a list of localities in Transylvania that were, either in majority or in minority, historically inhabited by Transylvanian Saxons, having either churches placed in Peasants' Castles (German: Kirchenburg = Fortified Church or Wehrkirche = Defensive Church), or only Village Churches (German: Dorfkirche) built by the Transylvanian Saxons. Hermann Julius Oberth (25 June 1894 28 December 1989) was an Austro-Hungarian-born German physicist and engineer. He is considered one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics. Oberth was born to a Transylvanian Saxon family in Sibiu (German: Hermannstadt, Hungarian: Nagyszeben), Austria-Hungary (today Romania).

Influenced by Verne's books and ideas, Oberth constructed his first model rocket as a school student at the age of 14. In his youthful experiments, he arrived independently at the concept of the multistage rocket, but he lacked then the resources to pursue his idea on any but a pencil-and-paper level. In 1912, Oberth began the study of medicine in Munich, Germany, but at the outbreak of World War I, he was drafted into the Imperial German Army, assigned to an infantry battalion, and sent to the Eastern Front against Russia. In 1915, Oberth was moved into a medical unit at a hospital in Sighisoara, Transylvania, in Austria-Hungary (today Romania). There he found the spare time to conduct a series of experiments concerning weightlessness, and later resumed his rocketry designs. By 1917, he showed how far his studies had reached by firing a rocket with liquid propellant in a demonstration to ], the Prussian Minister of War. On July 6, 1918, Oberth married Mathilde Hummel, with whom he had four children. Among t
