Extra Information[edit]
As an ethnic German born in Transylvania, Romania, and member of various organizations representing the Transylvanian German minority, Fabritius is an active participant of cultural diplomacy. On his website, Fabritius points out that his entry into politics is largely motivated by his felt need to safeguard the Transylvanian German cultural heritage. According to Fabritius, Transylvanian Germans and other groups of German Aussiedler have the ability and expertise to build bridges between minorities in Germany as well as between the member states of the European Union. In his words, Aussiedler may act as “connecting links between tradition and future.”
