Mauthausen

Few towns in Upper Austria have a history as closely tied to granite quarrying and the Nazi concentration-camp system as Mauthausen. Set beside the Danube on the edge of the Mühlviertel, it developed around a long-established granite industry. The Mauthausen Memorial stands at the former concentration camp, where prisoners were subjected to forced labour in the nearby quarries during Nazi rule; it is now an important place of remembrance and education. Beyond this difficult legacy, the town’s Danube setting connects it with the wider river corridor of Upper Austria.
