'''Maulbronn''' is a small city in [[Baden-Württemberg]], southwestern [[Germany]], with a population of 6,463 (2016).
== Maulbronn Monastery Complex ==
The [[Cistercian Order|Cistercian]] Maulbronn [[Monastery]] Complex was founded in 1147 and is considered the most complete and best-preserved [[medieval]] monastic complex north of the Alps. Surrounded by fortified walls, the main buildings were constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries. The monastery's [[church]], mainly in Transitional [[Gothic]] style, had a major influence in the spread of Gothic [[architecture]] over much of northern and central Europe. The water-management system at Maulbronn, with its elaborate network of drains, [[irrigation]] [[canal]]s and [[reservoir]]s, is of exceptional interest.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/546</ref>
