The Mortality Impact of Cholera in Germany
This paper presents the first comprehensive quantitative account of epidemic cholera in 19th-century Germany. Using a new dataset based on archival sources, it documents nearly half a million cholera deaths, along with outbreak timing and population at risk, across 2,685 cities and 852 rural counties within the 1871 German Empire. Five stylized facts come to light: First, cholera was primarily an urban disease, with city death rates averaging 3.5…
Epidemics and urban growth
The literature has long studied the economic consequences of epidemics. While plague and influenza episodes have received substantial attention by researchers, the same does not apply to cholera outbreaks. We examine the impact of cholera in urban Prussia during the 19th century with two novel datasets containing detailed information on cholera mortality and population growth for almost one thousand cities. Our results show that cities experienci…
Did Cholera “Force” the Reform of Urban Water Infrastructure? Lessons from Nineteenth-Century Berlin
This study of Berlin’s nineteenth-century hydrological reconfiguration challenges the popular narrative that Europe’s recurrent cholera epidemics after 1831 motivated an efficient and scientific path to safe tap water supplies and sanitary sewers. Analysis of contemporary discourse reveals that the causal link between cholera and water infrastructure reform is weak and ambiguous, with aesthetic and industrial concerns taking precedence. Far from …
