This is Willendorf, located on the Danube in the Wachau Valley. It has never reached 1,000 in population, but it is trending that way and may make it by the next census in 2021.
It might be most famous for a statue that dates back to 30,000 BCE. It is called the "Venus of Willendorf," The object is obviously of a woman with some exaggerated features, perhaps as a sign of fertility of some sort. The original is in a museum in Vienna. Yes, every city really does have a claim to fame.
