Historical Considerations on the Former Fires and Population of Bozen
An article in the Bote für Tirol addresses historical fires in Bozen, particularly the major fire of 1224. Drawing on historical treatises on medieval cities, it contextualizes the high number of casualties and population density of the era. Baron von Hormayr also supports the view that the population at that time was considerably larger than today.
