Libertas was founded in 1914 by some high school students. Among them were Josef Gerö, later ÖFB President, UEFA Vice President and Minister of Justice, and Karl Zankl, later WFV President. The rapid-enthusiastic students chose green and white as the colors of their club. The club played in the lower Viennese leagues for several years. A brief merger in 1922 with the Josefstädter Sportfreunde broke up, until 1928 the club did not get beyond the third class. Nevertheless, the club produced two later internationally very successful players in Josef Horejs and Walter Nausch, who were able to win the Mitropapokal with Sparta Prague and FK Austria Wien. In 1927 the club merged with the second-rate SC International Vienna to form the International Libertas. The club appeared as FC Libertas Vienna from the following season in 1928/29.

The 1934/35 season was the highlight of the club's history, and the club finished fifth behind Rapid, Vienna, Admira and Wacker. In 1936 the club was able to reach to the semi-finals of the ÖFB Cup.

This ended the history of the only Ottakringer first division club since there was no reactivation after the end of the war.

An odalisque (, ) was a chambermaid or a female attendant in a Turkish seraglio, particularly the court ladies in the household of the Ottoman sultan.  In orientalist art. In western usage, the term came to mean the harem concubine. They were often shown in paintings. They started a genre. In these pictures, a woman is shown mostly or completely nude in a reclining position, often in the setting of a harem. Original usage of the term. In the original usage of the term, an odalisque was at the lower social levels of a harem. "Odalıklar" did not serve the master of the harem. They served his wives and concubines as a chambermaid. Usually, odalikar were slaves, that were given to the Sultan by wealthy Turkish men. Most of the time, they were slaves from Georgia, or Circassia. Generally, an "odalık" was never seen by the sultan but instead remained under the direct supervision of his mother, the Valide sultan. If an "odalık" was very beautiful or had exceptional talents in dancing or singing, she would be trained as a possible concubine. If selected, an "odalık" trained as a court lady and would serve the sultan sexually. Only after such sexual contact would she change in status, becoming one of the consorts of the sultan. Note that the contacts between the sultan, his sons, and the girls and women of the harem were strictly regulated. Most members of the harem had to lead a life of sexual abstinence. In that way, a harem was more like a monastery.
Umm al-walad () was a title given to a slave-concubine who had given birth to her master's child.Since this concubine was the property of her master, she could be sold or given away, like any other slave. This was also the view of Muhammad. Umar had a different view: When he was caliph, he made a policy that prohibited owners from selling or gifting their umm al-walads. Also, when her owner died, the Umm-al-walad would be freed. Ali, who was Umar's cousin, and later a caliph, opposed this ruling. He said it was different from what Muhammad had said. Shiism took Ali's view. It also introduced temporary marriages. Sunni Muslims take Umar's view. As the child is a child of her owner, the child is considered freeborn, and legitimate. In 740, Zayd ibn Ali tried to overthrow the caliphate. This marked a turning point for caliphs with slave mothers. In 744, Yazid III was the first Umayyad caliph with a slave mother.The last three Umayyad caliphs, and most Abbasid caliphs had slave mothers.  If a slave had a child, and the slave owner did not say it legitimate, the slave was faced with zina charges. The usual penalty for zina is stoning.
