Note

This dance was first noted in Siebenbürgen in 1935, but later also in Austria. Siebenbürgen is a district in East Europe which was settled by Germans, mainly Saxons, in the 12th century. Originally a part of Hungary, it became Austrian in 1691. In that time Austrian protestants emigrated to Siebenbürgen. In 1919 the district became Rumanian and still is. In 1945 people lost all their property and were driven away. Nowadays only very few, mainly old people of German origin live there. Quite a lot of Siebenbürger live in Austria now.
