History & character
From Villages to an Urban Quarter
Rudolfsheim is the western part of the 15th district of Vienna, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, and has its roots in the five villages of Braunhirschen, Reindorf, and Rustendorf, which merged in 1863 due to population growth. The name Rudolfsheim was chosen in honor of the five-year-old Crown Prince Rudolf. After being destroyed during the second Turkish siege in 1683, the old settlements were partially rebuilt, leading to the emergence of Rudolfsheim. In 1892, Rudolfsheim was incorporated into Vienna as the 14th district and experienced a uniform Gründerzeit development with central points such as Cardinal-Rauscher-Platz and the Rudolfsheim parish church.
Today, Rudolfsheim is an urban quarter with diverse housing options, shaped by its historical development and integration into the 15th district. The Auer-Welsbach Park, which has been part of Rudolfsheim since 1992, offers additional recreational opportunities in this vibrant neighborhood.
