Mauer (German for "wall"; Central Bavarian: Maua) is a former village of Lower Austria that has been part of Vienna since 1938. Today's cadastral community belongs to the 23rd District of Vienna, called Liesing. In the west, Mauer borders the Vienna Woods.
A jasper mine was located in Mauer during the Neolithic. The first official mention of the village dates back to 1210. Wine production began during the Middle Ages, and still continues today. The Society of Jesus controlled the village from 1609 to 1773. In Biedermeier times Mauer was a famous Viennese summer retreat location. The first mayor took office in 1850, and the village was promoted to market town in 1902. After Nazi Germany annexed Austria, the City of Vienna was expanded greatly, which led to the incorporation of Mauer in 1938. The Rosenhügel Film Studios, which were built from 1919 to 1923 in the north of Mauer, were considered at their opening as the most modern and largest film studios in Austria. Almost all buildings were demolished in 2016.
A few decades ago there were dozens of winemakers in Mauer, whose number has gradually decreased over the years. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of winemakers that continue Mauer's nationally and internationally acclaimed viticulture tradition. The best known are the Edlmoser and Zahel families. [1] [2]
Mauer's wine-growing area is divided into three locations: Maurer Berg, Kroissberg and Kadoltsberg. The region is known for producing outstanding white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Riesling, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and especially Viennese Gemischter Satz. Winemakers operate local wine taverns (so-called "Heuriger"), which are mostly located at Maurer Lange Gasse. Unlike many Heuriger in Grinzing and Neustift am Walde, Mauer is hardly frequented by tourists, preserving a true and original vibe. The location was featured in season 7 of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
Mauer's main access to public transportation is the 60 tram line, which runs from Westbahnhof terminal (intercity trains and metro station) via Hietzing to Rodaun. Additionally, several bus lines serve the area. Mauer also shares a S-Bahn train stop with neighboring Atzgersdorf at its eastern border.
Vienna is the capital, largest city, and one of nine States of Austria. Vienna is Austria's most populous city and its primate city, with about two million inhabitants, and its cultural, economic, and political center. It is the sixth-largest city proper by population in the European Union and the largest of all cities on the Danube river.

The Vienna Woods are forested highlands that form the northeastern foothills of the Northern Limestone Alps in the states of Lower Austria and Vienna. The 45-kilometre-long (28 mi) and 20–30-kilometre-wide (12–19 mi) range of hills is heavily wooded and a popular recreation area with the Viennese.
Klosterneuburg, frequently abbreviated to Kloburg by locals, is a town in the Tulln District of the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It has a population of about 27,500.

In eastern Austria, a Heuriger is a tavern where local winemakers serve their new wine under a special licence in alternating months during the growing season. Each state in Austria has slightly varying rules on how many Heuriger of a town can be open at any given time and for how long in total during the year. The Heurige are renowned for their atmosphere of Gemütlichkeit shared among a throng enjoying young wine, simple food, and – in some places – Schrammelmusik. They correspond to the Straußwirtschaften in the German Rheinland, the Frasche in Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Osmica in Slovenia.
