VOEST-LINZ harbour in Austria.

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Oct 19, 2021 8:37 pm

This stamp shows us the Voest Linz harbor in Austria, with many inland barges alongside and in the river. Not any information on the barges.

At the beginning of the century, the idea of moving heavy industry from the narrow Alpine valleys to the major transport arteries of rail, ship, and road was born. This idea was also taken up in 1938, but the production facilities built during the war were severely damaged by this war. The actual construction time did not begin until 1946 when the company was nationalized, and it was not until 1950 that all the factory facilities were repaired and rebuilt. The next big step in the company's development was the adoption of the Austrian Iron and Steel Plant, which defined Austrian sheet metal production at VÖEST in Linz. Since then, the plant has been continuously modernized and expanded. The construction of an "LD" steelworks III was already planned for the near future.
