Summary/Abstract: The history of the Transylvanian health care sector in general as well as the history of the health care sector of the German minority from Transylvania (Transylvanian Saxons) is quite well investigated and there were published numerous papers and books. Despite this fact there still are a lot of sources which were not yet taken into account. The author analyzed (for the period from 1910 to 1920) lots of documents referring to the medical personnel, institutions like – hospitals, nursing homes orphanages – and associations (which also had charitable goals) from Sibiu, demonstrating that the city enjoyed medical care of high quality, its medical system being taken as a model by the Romanian health care system in the first half of the 20th century.
