  Abstract:  The media, the idea of German affiliation and the Transylvanian Saxons in the 1860s. This article is an analysis of the national identity of the Transylvanian Saxons in the mid- nineteenth century. Loss of privileged nation status and minority status within a Hungarian unitary state caused the intellectual elite to emphasize the idea of the Saxons belonging to the great German nation. Articles in the press of the time expressed these desiderata, Otto von Bismarck’s Germany being perceived as a protective element. The idea of belonging to the German nation would mark the destiny of the Transylvanian Saxons until their emigration from Transylvania in the late twentieth century.
