AbstractThe purpose of this study is twofold. First the authors want to investigate the long-term consequences of emigration from the prince-Bishopric of Wuerzburg on the demographic development of this ecclesiatical state. Secondly the authors want to investigate whether emigration could serve as a "safety-valve" to ease tension within this agrarian society by opening up land and employment opportunities for those left behind.
