Geography
The municipality includes the hamlet of Schaanwald, which has a train station on the Feldkirch-Buchs line. The forests of Bauwald and Maurerberg, east of Schaanwald, take up a third of the municipality's area.[3]
History
During antiquity, a Roman road (from Bregenz to Milan) crossed what is now known as Mauren. The location was already inhabited in these times.[3]
It was first mentioned as "Muron" in documents from 1178.[3] There is a memorial to the Liechtenstein educator and historian Peter Kaiser (1793–1864) located in the municipality.
Since 1905, Mauren has existed as a church community. It was the first municipality in Liechtenstein to receive electricity in 1906.[3]
Politics
Mauren is locally administered by the mayor and a 10-person municipal council, elected every four years since 1975. The incumbent mayor is Peter Frick, since 2023.[3]
