The three- generation family (everyone lived under one roof) used to include grandparents, parents and their children. This type of family was lost and has become increasingly rare to this day, especially since many families did not even have the necessary space. The town's population register recorded only 910 citizens in 1928. Today Stetten has 1055 inhabitants.
