Ball evening of the
Rudolfina-Redoute 2021

Instead of a festive night at the Hofburg Vienna...

For almost a hundred years, the Rudolfina-Redoute has been linked to Carnival Monday – and just a year ago we thought it would be the same this time. But now everything has changed, large events are still not allowed and a Rudolfina-Redoute with mouth-nose protection or FFP2 masks and 2m minimum distance could even tonight hardly be imagined.

Nevertheless, we do not want to let today pass completely without the Rudolfina-Redoute and have therefore put together a few things for you.

We have collected pictures, videos and newspaper coverage of last year’s Rudolfina-Redoute – and we have made a documentary video as well.

To the reports

The Rudolfina-Redoute is the oldest, most traditional ball organized by a student fraternity. “Redoute” means “masked ball” where the ladies, who come alone or with a partner, wear a mask and can invite the men to dance.

Die nächste Rudolfina-Redoute findet am Faschingmontag, den 3. März 2025, statt.

Join us on Carnival Monday, March 3rd 2025 for the next Rudolfina-Redoute.
