Résumé
The Agrarian Structures of the Duchy of Limbourg and of the Outre-Meuse Region (17th-19th Centuries) The "Pays de Herve", which lies between Liege and Aachen, presents an original and essentially pastoral landscape. The patterns of land tenure and farming, as well as the geographical and professional distribution of landowners, point to the existence of a primarily local, individualized non-noble, indeed peasant-run agrarian system as early as the 17th century. By analyzing the real-estate market one can identify its sources of financing, as well as the factors responsible for its stability and fragmentation. A comparison between the 17th-18th centuries and the mid-19th century reveals the respective impact of rural industry and of the industrial revolution on the system as a whole, providing the basis for a qualitative model of the regional economy.
