Heeresbekleidungsanstalt Brunn am Gebirge, Military supply barracks in Brunn am Gebirge, Austria.
The Heeresbekleidungsanstalt Brunn am Gebirge is a military clothing supply facility in Austria that specializes in uniform production and testing. The installation operates specialized laboratories where textiles undergo testing for weather resistance, flame protection, and moisture control.
The facility was founded in 1913 as a k.u.k. Monturdepot during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and initially supplied the 4th Infantry Division. After World War II, it became part of the Austrian Armed Forces and has continued its role in modern military supply operations.
The workshops here show how craftsmanship meets modern needs for military clothing. Visitors can observe how traditional skills remain central to creating specialized garments for the armed forces.

The facility received recognition in 2023 at the Austrian Administrative Prize for a collaborative project on service and operational clothing procurement. This award recognized the innovative approach to cooperation between different government agencies and manufacturers.
