- Abstract
The article examines the historical cultural relationship of the citizens of Transylvania with the forest near which they live as evidenced by Szekler fairy tales. Elements of superstition and humor in the tales are analyzed and differences between Szekler-, German-, Hungarian-, and Romanian-language fairy tales are compared. The author examines the depictions of elements of everyday life including hunters and hunting, fuel wood cutting and woodcutters, and colliers and charcoal-making in fairy tales including "Der seltsame Vogel", "Der betrogene Wolf", and "Der Fuchs überredet den Wolf, über den Köhlerbrunnen zu springen."
