Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus

Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus is Vienna's fifteenth district, where residential buildings and local shops stand close together in a compact urban layout. The area brings together several formerly separate communities and benefits from good public transportation connections that link it to the rest of the city.

The district came into being in 1890 when several separate communities merged to form a single administrative area. This consolidation was part of Vienna's broader effort to integrate its growing suburban settlements into the city's structure.

The district is home to residents from many different backgrounds who have created a multilingual neighborhood with various communities and worship places. This diversity shapes how the area looks and feels, visible in local shops, restaurants, and the mix of people you meet on the streets.

You can easily explore the district and reach other parts of Vienna using the U-Bahn lines, trams, and buses that run through it. Most streets are flat and walkable, with local shops and cafés located within comfortable walking distance.

The district's name honors Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria while also referencing the five communities that united to form it. This dual naming reflects how several distinct settlements came together to create what is now a unified urban neighborhood.
