Rauhriegel, Hungarian: Füsthegy; Croatian: Roriglyin; is a small village and cadastral community located within the municipality of Weiden bei Rechnitz in Oberwart district, which is located in the Austrian state of Burgenland.

== History == Its first inhabitants were border guards belonging to the castle of Salonika, who settled in the area in the 16th century. Later, they were replaced by Croatians. Over the centuries, it was sometimes mentioned together with the neighboring village of Sirokány, sometimes separately. In 1910, along with neighboring Sirokany, it had 181, predominantly Croatian residents. The two villages shared the name of Füsthegy-sirokány. Until the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, it belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary within the district of Kőszegi, in the royal county of Vas. In 1921, it became part of the Austrian state of Burgenland. Due to the Anschluss of Austria before World War II. it was administered by Nazi Germany from 1938-1945. After World War II, the region was controlled by the Soviet Union during the Allied-occupation of Austria from 1945-1955. In 1971, it was administratively attached to Weiden bei Rechnitz.
