History & character
From Suburbs to Urban Life
Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, the 15th district of Vienna, has its roots in the villages of Reindorf, Braunhirschen, and Rustendorf, which emerged after the second Turkish siege. In the 19th century, the area became densely built, with its historical development shaped by the opening of the West Railway in 1858 and the incorporation of the municipalities into Vienna in 1892. The district is divided into two halves, leading to a North-South differentiation. Previously, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus was often associated with worn-out Gründerzeit districts and labor migration, while street prostitution has since been pushed to the outskirts.
Today, the district presents itself as an urban space with high population density and proximity to the old town, yet lacking the typical local patriotism found in other outer districts. In recent years, a growing neighborhood consciousness has been observed, particularly in the Nibelungenviertel and around Reindorfgasse. Among the most notable buildings are the Westbahnhof, the Wiener Stadthalle, and the Church of Maria vom Siege.

Access · travel time
Where can you get from here, by which mode, to which destination? The map colours every location in the district by real travel time (dark = fast).
Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Vienna. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).

Real building heights (official Vienna building model, computed from the BEV laser scan in the surroundings), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. In Vienna the terrain rarely matters: ten minutes in the Innere Stadt, and just as little at the Döbling vineyards, where the slope lies to the north-west and never touches the southern sun. It only tells in the Wienerwald valleys, at Kalksburg a good two hours on 21 December.
