that of the District Court, and the lively charitable
spirit of the community are not to be overlooked, besides 141
Stara of grain and 3 Yhren of wine, also the very
significant cash amount of 1274 fl. 6 kr.

1828 at a glance
The year 1828 in Merano and its surroundings was characterized by regional administration, local welfare initiatives, and agricultural matters. While legal and bankruptcy affairs alongside historical studies on the Passeier shield farms defined local history and administration, the course of the year also reflected a mixed harvest, charitable events such as the imperial name day celebration for the deaf-mute institute, and practical advice on tree cultivation. →
