Brabn Moeciu administrative headquarters of the village is the village of Lower Moieciu.

Bran Moieciu village is located in Barsa , which is nothing but the south-eastern lowlands of the largest mountains in Romania - Brasov Depression - which occupies the south-eastern county of the same name. From the city of Brasov, the village Bran Moieciu is located 28 km on the highway linking Brasov to Campulung Muscel and Pitesti , one of the oldest ways of communication on the Romanian territory, known even before the occupation of Dacia by the Romans in the year 106 after Christ. This old road linking the commercial and military, in time the Roman occupation, settlements Cumidava ( Rasnov ) of Jidava (Poenari of Muscel), and in the Middle Ages was the main road connecting the towns of Transylvania and Wallachia in the Lower Danube. Bran Moieciu the village, the village cave, archaeological excavations have revealed traces of habitation from the Paleolithic period, namely the Upper Paleolithic. Also in the commune Bran Moieciu the village road Carului archeological excavations conducted a few years ago by Professor Stelian basket, revealed traces of a Roman camp which seems that the whole system of fortifications Roman Dacia , known as limes transalutan . Precisely because of its special importance, after the occupation of Transylvania by Hungarian royalty, it ordered the building castle Bran , as a security and defense submitted Bran pass. The birth of the Bran Castle was issued by King Louis I of Anjou on 13 November 1377 and in 1382 the castle was finished, as it then, but never got the sovereign to see. Colibaşi villages of Bran, including those belonging to the village today Bran Moieciu are mentioned very often in medieval documents, making them actually part of the Bran castle and were under the jurisdiction of Bran. Today Bran Castle , which is missing from the world's great tourist guides, is known worldwide as Dracula's Castle, and many people, unauthorized, confused Prince Vlad Dracula and Vlad Tepes .

From geographically, Moeciu common depression is located in Bran-Campulung Muscel corridor, which has the largest height in Step Giuvala Founded on the village (1235 m.), lane lined depression on the south-eastern side of Bucegi Mountains, Leaota (2504 m) and mountain neighborhood to the west, known as the "Pearl of the Romanian Carpathians." These massive village boundaries actually correspond to the cardinal points Moeciu, which is adjacent counties Moeciu common Prahova, Dambovita and Arges. On the other side are villages neighbors Moeciului Fundata and Sirnea Founded in common, Simon and Predeluţul of Bran village and town Zarnesti . Moieciu villages are linear and scattered villages. The climate is temperate continental zone, with heavy winters, short summers and cool, with rain falling most of the time range of winds and irregular. The hydrographic network is well developed, all the tributary rivers village Barsa river tributary of the Olt .

Until long main occupation Moeciu inhabitants (which in the last census in 2002 reaches 5,000 inhabitants), was mountain agriculture, the main emphasis falling on animal husbandry. In recent years an unprecedented development that has taken agro tends to become the main economic activity around Bran. Moreover, the commune Moeciu are some of the most famous of all Bran Farmhouses.

Moeciu village hall is in the village of residence. Here are a human dispensary, a police station and a small passenger bus. In each of the villages Moeciu is one school with grades kindergarten-eighth and one, except the village road carrier, where the school and kindergarten classes I-IV were abolished some years ago for lack of children. Every village also has a church where they are Orthodox rite, except that no church Carului Road, is lower.

As a paradox or irony of fate, Moeciu villages, like all villages of Bran area, flourished during the regime of communist dictatorship because there could not be cooperative agriculture, although previous regime tried as a form of cooperatives association together, but it failed. Events in late 1989 surprised Bran in a period of real economic prosperity, allowing the entire area to develop in pace accelerated to be one of the most popular tourist areas in Romania. And again like a paradox, a tourist economy is in apparent contradiction Moeciu village with its infrastructure, which will have unpleasant repercussions of the coming years.

In terms of common cultural and sporting life Moeciu, it should be noted that, over time, common Moeciu gave her country and is not only a number of prominent personalities. Among them mention John Aldulean (1821-1871), born and became Moeciu degree in law and in 1861 to become adviser and member of the Senate Transylvania Gubernium Habsburg Empire between 1863-1965. In 1867, the dualist pact, he became advisor to the Minister of Justice in Budapest, and two years later a member of the Court of Cassation reached Budapest. He was one of the participants in the Great National Assembly Blaj in May 1848 , along with other like Bran Puscariu John Knight, John Vartolomei and Nicholas Tataru teacher. In 1864 he was decorated by "altissima resolution", with "iron crown" and raised the imperial knighthood with the title hereditary.

A big names in Romanian drama is actress Leni Pintea Homeag. At the same time, the prestigious International Biographical Center Cambridge, following a rigorous selection carried thousands of persons from all over the world, a famous actress Leni Pintea appoint as ambassador and symbol Homeag new century, her name is written with golden letters in the capsule time that was buried in Ely Cathedral in Cambridge.

I chose at random, two names of Romanian culture and universal resonance and saw daylight Moieciului lands. In reality, common Moieciu gave dozens of scientists and culture in various fields. I can remember, for example, the academician Victor Giurgiu, one of the most prominent European personalities of forestry, the priest Nicholas Puchianu, Professor John Clinciu, General Axente Puscariu, Professor George Nenciu, Professor George Sbârnă, the generals Nicholas Neculae Pivaru and Aries, and many other big names who have high prestige and Bran moicene villages worldwide.

No sport is not inferior to the culture as shared country and mankind gave Moieciu branded sports, especially winter sports. Among them were family owned Munteanu noted athletes. Thus, Dorin Munteanu was multiple champion in giant slalom and downhill, yet participated in the Olympics in Grenoble in 1968 , Daniela Munteanu obtained not less than 18 junior league titles and 12 senior titles, Mircea Munteanu university was slalom champion and achieved remarkable results Ovidiu Munteanu, on line university, the handball and skiing. Their grandson, following the tradition of his family, left inferior and not dealt with extreme skiing. In this area, Ionut Rose, because on it he had good results both as a junior and as a senior, winning third place and fourth in Europe, and in February 2003 he won the eighth to Chamonix . Marius Olteanu, who is now a professor at our school and was national champion, both ski and tourist orientation. I remember just a few examples, because they are many, especially the youth of today who want to say and to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.
