The Bierhäuslberg quarry, once a vibrant site of limestone extraction, now lies silent and abandoned at the foot of the Bierhäuselberg in Perchtoldsdorf. It was first documented in 1754/55 and was used for centuries to extract limestone for the construction of buildings and roads. In the 20th century, however, the quarry lost its function and was abandoned. Today, Bierhäuslberg presents itself as a lost place, whose abandoned stone walls and weathered extraction sites tell of past times. Between the ruins, nature and curious climbers have settled, while hikers stroll along old paths and enjoy the view over Vienna and the surrounding mountains. The large garden settlements on the mountainside are reminiscent of the life that once pulsed here. The mountain's name comes from the once extensive beer cellars of the Hütteldorfer brewery, which were stored at the foot of the mountain, today a silent testament to a long-gone era.
