message: apart from bucharest,there hasn't been any massive deliberate destruction of XIXth century or older urban architecture with the intent of replacing it with concrete blocks or other housing projects. moreover the old city centers where promoted as tourist destination in the brochures of the time both for the local and foreign market..the newer parts are usually built alongside the old frame of the cities.examples range from larger cities like Cluj-napoca,Sibiu,Constantza to smaller urban areas like Sighisoara.so despite being the exception brasov falls into the other development projects that we're the general rule during Ceausescu's regime.if no one comes with a reliable source for that statement i suggest removing it  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.117.48.49 (talk) 03:44, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I added a quote and not a conviction. I am not sure why you are so hostile to other etymoloy since nobody provided until now a correct etymology.
I asked a linguist about it
Until its clarification, I provide to you a point of view that you might consider, or not
S. Puscariu in his book Puşcariu, Sextil (1977)  Braşovul de altădată. Cluj-Napoca: Ed. Dacia. OCLC 3446164. wrote 
:"But, from person name Bratoslav we have another hypocoristic form, "Brasa", that is the basis of the name Brasov, as N. Drãganu supposed it"
As a reminder, N. Draganu proposed a Slavonic person name. 
See also wikipedia in French. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra%C5%9Fov for what Draganu proposed and Germans Philippi and Kisch eventualy Une interprétation de F. Philippi en 1874 explique que le nom vient de l'ancienne cité Brasovia sur la Tempe, détruite par Corvin. En 1928, G. Treiber et E. Jekelius utilisent cette hypothèse pour expliquer qu'en slave le mot baras, qui veut dire « cité » ou « vérité », est à l'origine de Brasov.
They do not mention extincted pecheneg language
I personal, do not know what etmology is correct
Yet, your material is about a Romanian beautiful city. The etymological aspects shouldn't be so long so that people would miss to see why else it is a beautiful city

replies: text: And I have stated that I see no reason for even discussing what they (whoever) wrote on French wikipedia. If you did not add it and the citation is incomplete, you also don't know if it's verifiable, not can you speculate about what else it may or may not back. Incidentally, them "not mentioning" a certain etymology is no "proof" of them rejecting it, as relevant of irrelevant as that is to the topic; it is purely and simply a fallacy.

message: "Once Brașov became a German colony, Romanians were denied several privileges by the new German settlers. They were no longer recognized as citizens of the city, and as such they were no longer able to continue to practice their crafts and operate their businesses."  
Just to clarify this: Kronstadt was not a "German colony". Kronstadt was a town founded by German settlers (hence I guess they didn't call it "Brasov") invited by Hungarian kings in order to (re)populate devastated regions. That's quite a difference to a colony, isn't it? At that time Transylvania was subdivided on a very small scale into regions which had their own rules and quite different social structures. Just have a look a the architecture in Transylvania - those regional characteristics of that time are easily visible even today.
So it is not exactly true that the "descendants of romans and dacians" were "no longer recognized as citizens of the city". The simple reality is: The city belonged to those who built it - say the German settlers. (By the way: According to the Hungarian version of history there were almost none of your "descendants of romans and dacians" in Transilvania at that time at all...). You may also want to review the definition of a colony. You may find out that "In politics and history, a colony is a territory under the immediate political control of a state." If you had learned at least a little bit of history before posting such a crap on Wikipedia you may have noticed that the Transylvanian Saxons were subordinates of the Hungarian king, and not the Holy Roman Emperor (or whatever you might consider "Germany" at that time). Also, the statistics you mention in the article are from a time long after the Transylvanian Saxons lost their regional autonomy and Romanians took the chance to migrate into their cities.
Even more pathetic is your statemt: "Romanians were denied several privileges by the new German settlers". As already mentioned: At that time the German settlers had their own territory. The majority of the "Romanian population" (the Romanian nation wasn't yet "invented", but anyway ...) were serfs on the lands of the Hungarian nobility. Those who ranked higher in society melted away into the "Hungarian" aristocracy. So the German settlers could not deny the "Romanians" any privileges because they lived in clearly separated territories/societies. They simply weren't the rulers of the "Romanian" serfs. (It really seems you haven't got any clue about the society of that time at all.)
After ww2 borders in eastern Europe tended to shift westwards. Some governments tried to find an historic justification for that. So they started to fake history. In  nowadays Europe there is no discussion about adjusting borders and hence no need for such type of prpaganda. So please stop this Ceausescu-style pseudo-historic shit here on Wikipedia. Thanks.
(Of course you may try to find some internationally accepted sources for your version of history. If you fail to  - and I'm quite sure you will - then I will most certainly delete your nationalistic/propagandistic statements.)
: Makes sense. There is still some Ceaucescu nostalgia in parts of the population, although he ruined the country with his bizarre politics. Even today descendants of the German settlers consider themselves Romanians with Saxon ancestry and mother tongue. The majority were bought out by West Germany in the eighties. Only few returned after the fall of the communist regime, although the Romanian govt. invited them back. Ontologix (talk) 04:47, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

message: "Significant growth in real estate prices continues, along with other major Romanian cities, as investor sentiment remains high, given the large foreign direct investment influx, recent accession to the European Union and forthcoming airport. Like most of Romania and Poland, cities like Brașov are predicted to exhibit strong growth for many years to come. Many foreign investors are sourcing their own land, or engaging local firms to create holiday or investment property."
Local (and global) real estate has crashed, along with investor sentiment. The whole paragraph reads like a veiled advertisement for the real estate sector as a whole, with the author just waxing optimistic. No sources for "strong growth for many years to come" whatsoever. In light of the current real estate, financial and economic slump, this bit can safely head for the shredder.  MordechaiBV (talk) 19:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
