Rusovce ( Hungarian: Oroszvár, Croatian: Rosvar German: Karlburg, Rossenburg, Kerchenburg) is a borough in southern Bratislava on the right bank of the Danube river, close to the Austrian border.

History

In the 1st century, there was a Roman settlement named Gerulata in today's Rusovce area. The first preserved written reference to the settlement is from 1208.

On October 15, 1947 - together with Čunovo and Jarovce - Rusovce was annexed by Czechoslovakia according to the Paris Peace Treaty, in order to make possible to divert the Danube. On January 1, 1972, it was made a borough of Bratislava.
