Population development

After records began, the population rose to a high of 785 in the middle of the 19th century. In the period that followed, a phase of stagnation set in, which caused the number of residents to fall to around 265 after a short recovery period by the 1970s. A growth phase followed, which increased the size of the community to over 400 inhabitants, before another phase of stagnation set in.
