Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the multicultural approach employed in the education of the German nationality, later referred to as a minority in Transylvania, with respect to their long history in this region, focusing especially on the development of the German teaching system since the nineteenth century. The Transylvanian Saxons demonstrated through the measures taken over time that they can offer a multicultural education, based on European principles, received through the cultural transfer from the Western universities to the East.
