The Schiffleute vom Oberen Donautal association was founded on 25 September 1992. The number of members has grown from eight to 20. The association was founded because the ancestors of many of its members were employed in the shipping industry.
The father of Siegfried Selle, the long-standing founding chairman and chairman of the association, travelled as far as Budapest on the large wooden rafts as a cook. An ancestor of the deputy chairman Adolf Antlanger was named as a forerunner in a description of a historical boat train (Christoph Antlanger). An uncle of the secretary Dr Lothar Leitner was the last shipmaster on the Danube in this region. The two founding members Rudolf Königsdorfer and Anton Witti represent the last boat builders (= Schopper) in Austria.Please get in touch for more information.
