Braunhirschen (also Braunhirschengrund ) is part of the 15th Viennese district Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus and, together with Rustendorf and Reindorf, forms the district half of Rudolfsheim .

History and creation

After almost all places in the area of ​​today's 15th district were destroyed during the second Turkish siege in 1683, five villages were created, partly through the reconstruction of the old settlements: Rustendorf , Braunhirschen, Reindorf , Sechshaus and Fünfhaus . Until 1697 (the start of construction on Schönbrunn ) there was no further development, at which time the palace of Baron Christoph von Plankenau was built at the foot of today's Mariahilfer Strasse . Attached to it were three gardener's houses - due to this fact, brown deer was initially referred to as three house - these later multiplied to brown deer. At the end of the 18th century, an inn called "Zum Braunen Hirschen" was very popular, which is why it finally gave the village its name. By 1772 Braunhirschen had grown into a village with 16 houses, due to the many inns in Braunhirschen and the neighboring villages, people soon spoke of a pub colony at the gates of Vienna. Due to the rapid population growth in the former vineyards, this area soon became a densely populated area, which administratively consisted of several independent communities. That is why in 1863 Braunhirschen, Rustendorf and Reindorf merged to form a large community and named themselves Rudolfsheim in honor of the Crown Prince. In 1890, Rudolfsheim and Sechshaus formed the 14th district called Rudolfsheim when all of Vienna's suburbs were incorporated . After Austria was annexed to the Third Reich , Rudolfsheim was combined with Fünfhaus to form one district, which has remained so to this day. Today Rudolfsheim-Braunhirschen is the name of a counting district of the official statistics consisting of seven counting districts.
