The Korneuburg shipyard was a central part of Austrian shipping history for over 140 years and had a significant impact on the region's industrial development. The company was founded in 1852 as a branch of the Imperial and Royal Navy Shipyard in Pola (now Pula in Croatia). After the end of the Danube Monarchy in 1918, it became the property of the Austrian Shipyards AG.

During the Second World War from 1938 to 1945, the shipyard was used for military purposes and placed under German control. After the war, reconstruction began, with the shipyard mainly repairing damaged ships and increasingly specializing in the construction of inland and Danube ships. In the 1950s to 1980s, it experienced a heyday with new ships for Danube shipping.

Despite its long tradition, shipbuilding operations were discontinued in 1993 because demand fell and the shipyard could no longer be operated economically. Since the 2000s, the former shipyard site has been used for commercial and cultural projects, with some historic buildings being preserved.
