History
The house dates from the 16th century. It has been rebuilt several times over the centuries and was restored to its present form in the 19th century.
The Trausch family comes from Strasbourg in Alsace. In 1606 Georg Trausch was recorded as a Lutheran pastor in Prépostfalva, and in 1641 in Bürkös. Georg's grandson Paul (†1691) settled in Brasov; both he and his son Nathanael Sr. (1679-1768) served as pastors. From Nathanael Sr. descended the two great branches of the Trausch family: the civil branch (descendants of Nathanael Jr.) and the noble von Trauschenfels branch (descendants of Georg).
The first recorded owner of the Trausch House in Brassó was Nathanael Trausch Jr. (1713-1772), a master jeweller, followed by Johann Joseph Trausch (1768-1831), a town councillor and district inspector, and then Franz Joseph Trausch (1795-1871), a literary and local historian, whose most important work is the biographical encyclopaedia of Transylvanian German authors. After the death of Franz Joseph Trausch, the von Theuerkauf family acquired the house by marriage, and later the Fabritius family became the owner. In 1910 it was bought by the Lutheran parish.
