Years: 1405 - 1405

The thriving commercial and cultural center of Klausenburg (Hungarian: Koloszvar), in the Somesul-Mic valley of Transylvania, becomes a free city in 1405, the voivode of Transylvania having lost his supremacy over Kuluzsvar in 1331.

By this time the number of Saxon and Hungarian inhabitants is equal, the immigrant Saxons having been here for some one hundred and twenty-five years.

(As Cluj-Napoca, the city will develop into what is today one of the most important academic, cultural, industrial and business centers in Romania.

Among others, it hosts the largest university in the country, state-renowned cultural institutions, as well as the largest Romanian-owned commercial bank.)
