Population development

After records began, the population rose to a peak of around 220 by the first half of the 19th century. Subsequently, the number of residents fell to around 95 with brief recovery periods up to the 1960s, before a growth phase up to the 1990s began, which let the population grow to 130. As a result, the size of the community stagnated and has since stabilized at around 120 inhabitants.
