Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus is the 15th district of Vienna.

It borders Neubau and Mariahilf in the east, Meidling and Hietzing in the south, Penzing in the west, and Ottakring in the north. The northern border runs along the Gablenzgasse and eastern border along the Gürtel (Neubaugürtel, Mariahilfer Gürtel and Sechshauser Gürtel). It comprises the areas Rudolfsheim (divided into Braunhirschen, Reindorf and Rustendorf), Fünfhaus and Sechshaus.

History

After the second Turkish siege of Vienna, the villages of "Reindorf", "Braunhirschen", and "Rustendorf" arose and were in 1863 combined into the municipality of Rudolfsheim, named after the Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria. In the nineteenth century, the district grew significantly, and in 1890 was incorporated along with nearby communities "Fünfhaus" and "Sechshaus" into Vienna proper. The northern and eastern parts of "Fünfhaus" became the fifteenth district and the area of "Rudolfsheim" and "Sechshaus" became the fourteenth district under the name of "Rudolfsheim" alone. In 1938 "Rudolfheim" and "Fünfhaus" were unified into the 15th district, and the 14th district became the part of the 13th district north of the Wien River. Since 1957, the 15th district has been named "Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus".
