| Summary: | The Danube, one of the most cosmopolitan rivers in Europe, can be qualified as a
geographical, historical, economic and cultural place of transition. Pointing out such a coordinate, the
Danube emphasizes overcoming identities, boundaries and demystification. The Danube, this one-ofa-
kind cultural area, represents a border identity through its status conferred by its historical and
geographical position, but also by the culture in relation to the significant names of the artists and
writers. This is the place which gets altogether the national and cultural diversity “a space in which
cultures met and broke apart, like any other border that might seem like a place of transition, but also a
barrier” (Magris, 1994, p. 424).
