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 "Rudolfsheim" 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".
