Zusammenfassung (übersetzt): 
Social inequality is examined here using Munich's tax bill of 1397 as an example. Social and thus political inequalities were an unresolved problem area of late medieval cities in Central Europe. The tax book is particularly suitable for investigating the dimensions of rich and poor (Gini coefficient of 0.73), gender aspects, contemporary proportions of social groups living below the poverty and need thresholds, as well as the socio-topographical distribution of poverty and wealth in the city. In addition to the customary direct wealth tax, the income of all city dwellers was also taxed above a fixed minimum threshold. Thus, apart from the clergy and servants, the majority of economically active men and women in the cities became visible in social history
