Just read the whole thing. Still no clue on the reason for the abandonment. Any idea? Either way, great share, thanks!
From the German Wikipedia article:
The reasons might have been the same as usual for urbanisation, e.g. better paid and easier work than fishing or more cultural events.
Probably climate, weather, food security, and/or landing conditions.
