In January 1916, almost the entire territory of Albania was occupied by the Austrian-Hungarian army with the exception of fringe areas in the south of the country, which were occupied by Bulgarian, French, Italian and Greek troops. This territory can be seen on map 1 . Shkodër, at that time the country's largest city, became the seat of a military administration that left the traditional civil administrative structures unchanged.
The population census was taken on March 1st, 1918. The material was transported to Shkodër and safely stored. It was then processed "with the help of a large number of intelligent young Albanians" (Oberhummer 1921). By the end of September 1918, the data had been double-checked and completions and supplements carried out. However, these activities had to be stopped due to the planned withdrawal of the army in October.
