About

The Michael Schmidt Foundation is a non-profit association, founded in 2010 by Michael Schmidt, owner of the Automobile Bavaria Group, which aims to contribute to the preservation and promotion of Saxon culture in Transylvania.

Another priority area of the Michael Schmidt Foundation is the development of educational projects to promote the German language in Romania.

In addition, cultural and humanitarian projects are also part of the foundation's priorities, so over the years we have carried out dozens of such projects, which you can read more about here.

Moreover, we are proud to be co-founders, together with other associations in the area, of the Haferland Week festival, whose main goal is to promote the Saxon culture in Transylvania among tourists from home and abroad. Held annually in August, the festival attracts thousands of participants every year and all donations from the event are donated to development projects in the area.

Casa Paleologu

Casa Paleologu has always been a privileged place of intellectual discussions and friendships. The house on 34, Armeneasca str. was built in 1932 by Mihail Paleologu and Emilia, his third wife, after they were forced to sell the old tall house on Paleologu street, erected during the first half of the 20th century by the serdar Nicolae Paleologu, the son of the “medelnicer” Mihail Paleologu. The house on Armeneasca street is a comfortable bourgeois building in the cubist style of the 30s, but the furniture and the atmosphere bear the mark of aristocratic manors. *text & foto
