Rustendorf is part of the 15th Viennese district Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus , and together with Braunhirschen and Reindorf it forms the district half of Rudolfsheim .
Origin and history
Like Reindorf, Rustendorf has been documented as far back as the Middle Ages, where mainly viticulture and agriculture were practiced.
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 . Rustendorf consisted almost exclusively of inns on the important Linzer Poststrasse, today's Mariahilfer Strasse . These had names that were known all over Vienna and gave their names to later streets, such as the first house built here in 1730, Zum golden Reichsapfel ( Reichsapfelgasse ), as well as Zur golden Sonne , Zum Goldenen Mondschein (Mondscheingasse, later Schmelzgasse and today Lehnergasse ). Together with the large number of inns in Braunhirschen, this led to the long-lasting reputation of what is now Rudolfsheim's area as a pub colony. This and the convenient location of these suburbs in terms of traffic means that Rustendorf was merged with Braunhirschen and Reindorf to form the community of Rudolfsheim in 1863.
Rustendorf coat of arms
The coat of arms of Rustendorf shows a silver moon with a face on a blue background. There is no clear explanation for this, the most common one says that it was derived from the sign of the Einkehrgasthaus Zum golden Mondschein , which was located around 1770 in today's Lehnergasse / corner of Mariahilfer Strasse. The owner held the office of judge and used the house sign as an official seal , which is why it became naturalized as a community seal over time.
Another explanation is that the Turks camped on the Schmelz during the second Turkish siege , which was partly owned by Rustendorf, and therefore the Muslim crescent is supposed to commemorate this time.
There is also an explanation that includes both stories. The crescent moon of the house sign to the golden moonlight has its origin in the Turkish siege and is in turn the origin of the municipal coat of arms .
