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.
It was first mentioned as "Muron" in documents from 1178. 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.
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.
