The Rudolfina-Redoute is the oldest, most traditional ball organized by a student fraternity. Of the many Redoutes that once took place, the Rudolfina-Redoute is the only one that still survives today. Redoute means ‘masked ball’ where the ladies, who come alone or with a partner, wear a mask and can invite the men to dance.

The Theme of the Rudolfina-Redoute 2025 is:

Rock ’n’ Waltz

Presseaussendung: Absage der Rudolfina-Redoute 2022: „Ein Ball mit Einschränkungen ist nicht vorstellbar“

Es gab ein Ballmotto, die Bands waren gebucht, die Damenspende in Vorbereitung. Die Hoffnung lebte lange, aber schlussendlich sollte es nicht sein. Die Veranstalter der Rudolfina-Redoute sehen sich leider coronabedingt dazu gezwungen, die Rudolfina-Redoute 2022 abzusagen. Die bereits gekauften Karten werden selbstverständlich rückerstattet. …zur Presseaussendung
