Capital of Rumania
I think it's German for Bucharest, which is the capital city and industrial and commercial centre of Romania. It is located in the southeast of the country, at 44掳25鈥睳 26掳06鈥睧, and lies on the banks of the D芒mbovi牛a River.
The city was first mentioned in 1459 and became the capital of Romania in 1862. Since then, it has gone through a variety of changes and has become the centre of the Romanian mass media, cultural and arts scene. Its eclectic architecture, which is a mix of historical, Communist-era and modern, also reflects the city's varied history. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite gave Bucharest the nickname of the "Paris of the East" or "Little Paris" (Micul Paris). Although much of the historic center was damaged or destroyed by war, earthquakes and Nicolae Ceau艧escu's program of systematization, much survived, and in recent years the city is experiencing an economic and cultural boom.
According to the 2002 census, Bucharest has a population of 1,921,751 inhabitants in the city proper, making it the largest city in Southeastern Europe. There are also approximately 2.3 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area. Economically, the city is by far the most prosperous in Romania and is one of the main industrial centres and transportation hubs of the region. As the most important city in Romania, Bucharest has a broad range of educational facilities.
The city is administratively known as the Municipality of Bucharest (Municipiul Bucure艧ti), and has the same administrative level as a county, being further subdivided into six sectors. The residents of Bucharest are most often known as Bucharesters in English, or Bucure艧teni in Romanian.
You should visit it sometime, it's a lovable experience.
Most Romanians speak English, they're quite pleasant and open-minded.
