Population development

After records began, the population rose to a high of around 435 by the middle of the 19th century. In the period that followed, the size of the community fell during brief recovery phases, with a marked decline after the First World War until the 1980s, to a low of around 155 inhabitants before a phase of growth began that has recently stagnated again.
