Origin/meaning

The arms of the district Wien XI combine the arms of Albern, Wien-Simmering and Wien-Kaiserebersdorf.

Albern got its name for the extensive woods of white poplars (Populus alba) found in this area (documented 1162). The two fish symbolise the fishermen's craft that had a long tradition in Albern.
