The City of Rust (Croatian: Rušta) is an independent
city in the province of Burgenland. It is small city with
less then 2000 inhabitants, but it hold its historical rights of free city which
was given by the Hungarian King Leopold I in 1681.
The flag is a vertical bicolor of green and yellow with the city coat of arms on it.

The coat of arms of the free city shows a shield divided twice across. Its upper field is blue, the
middle one green, the lower one is again blue, added with reddish waves as a symbol for the lake
Neusiedlersee. Natural reed leaves grow from the second dividing line in the middle section, and three
natural reed heads fan out from there, extending into the upper section. The shield, surrounded by an o
rnate golden border, is topped by a golden crown set with jewels, with five visible leaf prongs between
which four pearl prongs are attached.
