Until December 31, 2008, Fuldera ( [fʊlˈderɐ] ^?^/^I ) was a municipality in the Val Müstair district in the Inn district of the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland.

On January 1, 2009, Fuldera merged with the other Swiss municipalities in the valley ( Lü , Müstair , Santa Maria Val Müstair , Tschierv and Valchava ) to form the municipality of Val Müstair .

Another 329 hectares can be used for agriculture - around 60% of which are Alpine farms. The remaining 10 hectares are settlement areas .

Population development

The number of inhabitants fell sharply due to strong emigration between 1835 and 1850 (1835–1850: - 31.3%). After great growth in the following twenty years, another period of emigration followed between 1870 and 1900 (total from 1835–1900: - 45.3%). After that, the population (with the exception of the year 1930 with 94 and 1980 with 103 inhabitants) fluctuated around the 115-120 mark for decades. At present, a surge in growth can be seen again (1980–2004: + 27.0%).

languages

In Fuldera, the Romansh language has always been spoken , more precisely the Jauer dialect . Between 1880 and 1980 the development towards a uniform language even intensified (1880: 80%, 1941 89% and 1980 95% with Romance as mother tongue ). Overall, 93% of the residents spoke the language as their main or second language in 1990 and 92% in 2000. The only official language of the municipality is Romansh. But here, too, the proportion of the German-speaking minority is increasing , as the following table shows:
