From the 15th century onwards, the population grew steadily again and exceeded 1000 inhabitants for the first time in 1785. In 1840, the peak was finally reached with 1241 inhabitants. From there, the curve fell again. Because of the peranospera, viticulture had to be abandoned and the population fell to 824 inhabitants in 1911.
