| Agarbiciu / Arbegen |

The little village of Agarbiciu, forming part of the Axente Sever commune, is situated between the eponymous resident town of this commune and the settlement of Seica Mare. The river Visa flows right through the village, which is called Arbegen in German. Founded in the 13th century, it was initially subordinated to the Seat of Schelk (Cincu).

| Agnita /Agnetheln |

Three days after the pagan hoard had forsaken the quiet Hârtibaci valley, Ursula who was sent by her father to hide along with the rest of the women in one of the church towers, kept worrying about how she could save her brothers, house, animals and even her neighbors from the cruel and fierce horsemen, not being able to understand why they had been devastating the Saxon region for such a long time...

| Alma / Almen |

Today, Alma is a simple village of the commune of Mosna. Its name comes from the German word Almo, meaning elm-tree and is proof of the enduring affinity for nature of the Saxons in these whereabouts. In the Saxon dialect the name is Almen and its Hungarian translation is Szászalmád. The settlement is first mentioned in 1289 as being subordinated to the Superior Council (Capitlu) of Medias. A document from 1356 acknowledges it as a free commune of the Seat of Medias. It so happens that this latter document is the death sentence of a murderer.

| Altana / Alzen |

Legend says that the first Saxons to set foot on these lands were led by ten local lords called greavi. They summoned a Council to chose a name for their settlement. Because each of them insisted that the settlement bear their name, they finally decided to name it after the one who would prove himself worthy by working hardest. But because they had worked all equally hard and eagerly, they agreed on naming the settlement after all ten of them in German, All Zehn.

| Apold / Trappold |

Ceramic vases found in Apold and bearing little resemblance to those of the Saxons indicate that this settlement was inhabited even before the arrival of Saxon colonists.

| Archita / Arkeden |

On August 28th 1748, Archita was the scene of a fire that destroyed the roof, melted down the bells and turned the furniture to ashes. Such was the devastation that it took the locals two whole years to renew the roof and make new furniture.

| Atel / Hetzeldorf |

In 1283, Petru, the bishop of Alba-Iulia, appointed dean Walter of Villa Echellini (Atel) head of the Superior Council of Medias. The fact that Atel had a dean, therefore leads us to believe that a church also existed there already in the 13th century. However, the present Gothic church was built much later, in 1380.

| Axente Sever / Frauendorf |

In 1931, twenty-five years after the death of the 1848 revolutionary Axente Sever, his name was given to the settlement of Frauendorf/ Frua. Frauendorf was formerly a free commune of the Seat of Medias. The documents found in the tower of the church when it was restored in 1819 state that the settlement had 132 Saxon households at the time it had this status. By 2004 unfortunately, only three members of the community were left.

| Bagaciu / Bogeschdorf |

Inside the church at Bagaciu can be found some of the most beautiful 16th century stalls, richly carved and decorated with inlays. This stall work is far from silent. The sculptures depicting fantastic creatures are covered with several inscriptions. One of them represents an owl, the symbol of both sinners who have yielded to darkness and of the humbleness of Christ, and is accompanied by the words: "I am a bird by the name of Owl, whoever spites me shall be brought down by sword".

| Bazna / Baassen |

"The prices are low and the conditions are civilized and comfortable. The music, evening events and festivities, tennis, gym equipment and beach that tone one's tanned muscles, all fully convince the visitor of the benefits of the wonderful climate and great hot springs found in Bazna." This is how the spa report in the newspaper, "Romanul" advertised Bazna in its issue on June 22nd 1919.
