Our Project Communities
This project investigates consumption and well-being over three
centuries (c. 1600 – c. 1900) through a microeconomic analysis of two
communities - the small town of Wildberg in the
Württemberg Black Forest and the village of Auingen in the Swabian
Jura. Since the Middle Ages, both communities have been part of the
territory of Württemberg in south-western Germany.
