Mauerbach
Mauerbach is a village on the western boundary of Vienna, Austria. Its number of inhabitants lies between 3000 and 4000, an exact figure is difficult to determine due to the high number of secondary residences in Mauerbach. According to the 2001 census, it has a population of 3,415. It hosts the summer houses of many rich Viennese families as well as the "Kartause Mauerbach", a Carthusian monastery founded in 1313, closed in 1782 and used as a hiding place for artwork extorted by Nazi Germany from Jewish people and other emigrants during the Second World War.
