Abstract

One of the highest rates of suicide occur in German-speaking countries and particularly in Saxonia. There are grounds for the assumption that the fact has been caused by a careful recording of suicides in this country since 1829. The paper describes the development of rates of suicide and the changes of the suicidal methods in Saxonia during the last one-hundred- and -fifty years with regard to age and sex.
