Abstract
The impact of the Thirty Years' War on the population of Bohemia has been overestimated, because research on a variety of sources for the period around the year 1651 suggests not only that there were long-term continuities in marital behavior (such as high proportions married) but also that some of the consequences attributed directly to warfare might well be explained by reference to inaccuracies of the source or to such population dynamics as emigration. A joint research project involving the University of Vienna, Charles University in Prague, and the State Central Archives in Prague is exploring socioeconomic dimensions of population change in mid-seventeenth-century Bohemia in order to test older assumptions and to develop new insights.
