Korneuburg Schiffswerft, Former shipyard in Korneuburg, Austria.
Korneuburg Schiffswerft is a former shipyard on the left arm of the Danube in Korneuburg, Lower Austria. Four halls at the centre of the yard are listed as protected monuments. The site covers about 197,000 m², with a widened and deepened harbour basin and several slipways.
The shipyard was established in 1852 by the DDSG on the left arm of the Danube as a repair and storage site for its steamers, initially with 60 employees. The first slipway followed in 1864, and the site grew to 28,000 m² with a 25,000 m² water basin. After 1938 it became part of the Hermann-Göring-Werke, and in 1959 it was reorganized as the state-owned Korneuburger Schiffswerften AG.
The site preserves the memory of workers who resisted the Nazi regime and were executed during World War II. This remembrance shows how the place honors those who stood against injustice during its industrial past.
