The name later as Erpurch , earthwork or Erdberg called, comes from a fortified rampart , probably in the early Middle Ages had been created Kardinal-Nagl-Platz, Hainburgerstraße and slaughterhouse alley in the area of today's Erdbergstraße. The derivation of the name of the strawberry, as well as the Erdberger a coat of arms can believe, however, is wrong.

Notte village was however during the first Turkish siege completely destroyed in 1529 and never rebuilt.

Over the centuries Erdberg country remained a royal possession. 1810 finally came to the Vienna Magistrate . Characteristic of the village was the vegetable cultivation, the wine more and more repressed. This Erdberg also played an important role in supply of Vienna.

This changed only after Erdberg together with the suburbs Weißgerber and road was incorporated as a district highway to Vienna.
