Historical Patrolboats of the Austrian Armed Forces
After reaching the end of their service life in 2006, the Austrian Bundesheer’s two largest patrol boats ‘Niederösterreich’ and ‘Oberst Brecht’ became museum pieces. Since these are unique specimens, they are of particular historical interest for the documentation of Austrian military history at the time of the Cold War. Their presentation to the general public is the main focus, but the hands-on boat enthusiasts and veterans of military and civil shipping in the ‘Marinekameradschaft Admiral Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand’ (Marine Fellowship Admiral Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand) also make sure that the boats are cared for and maintained in operating condition.
