history
The small town of Steinbach in the Allentsteig community was evacuated by the German Wehrmacht on April 1, 1939 . Some houses in the village and also the local chapel were repaired by the Austrian army and adapted for the training and exercise projects of the emergency services. The UTA Steinbach was opened in November 2011 and expanded in 2019.
