Curtain Up for New Federal Army Diver Base at Neufelder See

A new diving base for the Austrian Federal Army was opened at Neufelder Lake on Friday. The commando unit will train its combat swimmers and pioneer divers there in the future, explained Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP). The new building replaces a dilapidated old building and includes 550 square meters of infrastructure for training and deployment. Approximately 2.5 million euros were invested in the location.

"This diving center is unique in Austria"

"This diving center is unique in Austria," emphasized Tanner at the opening. After nine months of construction, the location has now been completed on schedule. In addition to living and training rooms, a boat garage with direct access to Neufelder Lake and a jetty were also built. Rain and roof water are environmentally friendly absorbed or directed directly into the lake.
