The shipyard Klosterneuburg (also kk shipyard Klosterneuburg ) is a former shipyard on the Danube in Klosterneuburg ( Lower Austria ).
The shipyard was built around 1763 by Wilhelm Rudolph Freiherr von Ripke on behalf of the Court War Council as the first Austrian shipyard in Klosterneuburg on the banks of the Danube at the mouth of the Weidlingbach . The Klosterneuburg shipyard had permanent staff in times of war as well as in times of peace, which was an important preliminary stage for the establishment of the Klosterneuburg pontoon battalion established in 1767 and the later pioneer unit . Ripke had brought Erich Åhsberg as the shipyard's first master shipbuilder, together with several shipbuilding specialists, from Wismar, then Sweden . He was also able to win a complete Hamburg ship crew for the new shipyard. The Klosterneuburger Shipyard built for the imperial Danube flotilla mainly pontoons and sealed Aiken as patrol boats on the Danube and the Hungary at the Theißmündung stationed Tschaikistenbataillon . A special work of the shipyard is the Danube regatta Theresia , completed in 1768 , which was probably the only ocean-going warship that the shipyard had ever produced.
In 1854, the kuk pioneers' pioneer equipment depot was built on the site of the kk shipyard , in which bridge equipment, pontoons and all other pioneering equipment were deposited, produced and repaired.
