The brand image shows a view of the then newly built post office in Rust in Burgenland. It corresponds to the peculiarity of the historical development of Rust that the settlement, which has always been considered German - its first historical mention goes back to the year 1317 - became practically Austrian only by the treaty of St. Germain. Accordingly, the support by the Austrian postal service began only at this time. On August 29, 1921, the post office was established as an Austrian office with telegraph and telephone. Soon after, on February 23, 1922, the Postscheckverkehr was opened, two years later, on September 9, 1924, the Sparverkehr and on October 1, 1924 the broadcasting service. Due to the seclusion of the place, the limited area of ​​the office had hardly changed until 1960. When the automation of telephone traffic required the establishment of a district office in Rust, the construction of a new post office building was also realized. After one and a half years of construction, the building was officially opened on February 13, 1960.
