The Körtinghalle was an airship hall built in 1909 in the Fischamend Military Aëronautical Institute . At the end of the First World War it had to be removed.

Airships

Körting Hall housed the imperial airships MI Parseval , M.II Lebaudy and M.III Körting .

Air screw testing institute

After the Körting catastrophe and the decline of the kuk Luftschifffahrt, a propeller testing facility was housed in the Körting hall. This globally unique facility enabled research with a wind tunnel according to Professor Richard Knoller .

Trivia

The Körtinghalle was realized by students from HTL Mödling as part of their diploma thesis as a 1:72 scale model. This was presented at Vienna Airport and in the Vienna Museum of Military History . In the course of the special exhibition "Military Aëronautische Anstalt Fischamend" it was on display in the HGM Zeltweg .

The former location of the Körting airship hangar is marked by the still existing abutment of the propeller test rig housed in it.
