Diploma Andreanum

The Diploma Andreanum, or Goldener Freibrief der Siebenbürger Sachsen (English: Golden Charter of the Transylvanian Saxons), was issued by King Andrew II of Hungary in 1224, granting provisional autonomy to colonial Germans residing in the Siebenbürgen region of the then Kingdom of Hungary, the present-day area of Sibiu (German: Hermannstadt), central Romania.[1][2]
