Șcheii Brașovului

Șcheii Brașovului (Hungarian: Bolgárszeg, German: Belgerei or more recently Obere Vorstadt; traditional Romanian name: Bulgărimea, colloquially Șchei) is the old ethnically Bulgarian and Romanian neighborhood of Brașov, a city in southeastern Transylvania, Romania.

Until the 17th century, the inhabitants of Șchei were forbidden from owning property inside the city walls.

[2] According to Radu Tempea's Istoria besérecei Șchéilor Brașovului manuscript of 1899, the Bulgarians arrived in Brașov in the late 14th century, more exactly 1392.

[3] The beginning of the construction of this neighbourhood dates according to all information that I can find to the 14th century, in which the city church began to be built in 1385.

Because there was a lack of enough craftsmen for this important construction due to the Burzenland markets and villages being busy with the building of their churches and castles at the time and not being able to provide enough workers except for the supply of stones, so the people of Kronstadt were forced to let workers from the neighbouring provinces come into the city.
