[For the entire collection see Zbl 0721.00007.] A reduced noetherian ring \(R\) is said to have bounded representation type if there exists a positive integer \(N\) with the property that for each indecomposable finitely generated torsion free \(R\)-module \(M\) and any minimal prime ideal \(P\) the \(R_ P\)-dimension of \(M_ P\) is at most \(N\). --- The minimal \(N\) with this property is denoted by \(\beta (R)\). The main purpose of this paper is to characterize ring-orders (i.e., one- dimensional, reduced, noetherian rings \(R\) with the property that their normalisation \(\tilde R\) is a finitely generated \(R\)-module) of bounded representation type. As a first result, it is shown that every ring-order with bounded representation type satisfies (DR): (DR1) \(\tilde R\) is generated by 3 elements over \(R\); (DR2) Jac\((\tilde R/R)\) is cyclic. Conversely, it is shown, modulo the rather harmless assumption that: \(R\to\tilde R\) does induce no purely inseparable residue field extensions of degree 2 or 3, that (DR) also implies bounded representation type. Actually, in the semilocal case, under this assumption (DR) is even equivalent to finite representation type. --- In the local case, the author shows that if \(R\) has an infinite residue field, then, when (DR) does not hold, this implies \(R\) to have infinitely many non-isomorphic faithful fractional ideals. As a final result, denoting by genus(\(M\)) the set of isomorphism classes of \(R\)-modules which are locally isomorphic to \(M\),|it is shown that a ring-order \(R\) has finite representation type if and only if \(R_{sing}\) (the ring of fractions of \(R\) at \((R-(M_ 1\cup\cdots\cup M_ t))\) where the \(M_ i\) are the singular maximal ideals, i.e., with the property that \(R_ M\) is not regular) has finite representation type and if genus\((M)\) is finite for any indecomposable torsion-free \(R\)-module \(M\).
