In the presence of numerous representatives: Inside from politics, business and partner organizations, the opening of the new ÖAMTC base in Melk took place on June 6, 2025. After around 28 years, the modern and sustainably built new building at Hobelstraße 1 officially replaces the previous location – which was a few hundred meters away.
“In Lower Austria, the ÖAMTC has already recorded more than half a million members. The constant growth of members, diverse forms of mobility and an ongoing further development of our services also make the consistent expansion of our infrastructure necessary. The new base is a further model project of our sustainable location offensive,” explains Oliver Krupitza, ÖAMTC director for Vienna, Lower Austria. In Melk, the mobility club creates more space for future -oriented offers and well -founded advice on around 1,000 square meters. 15 employees: Inside in Melk, a state -of -the -art and well -equipped work environment.
Zwtl.: Ecological overall concept: building material wood, heat pump and PV system
As with all new ÖAMTC bases, the focus is also on the sustainable construction in Melk. The main building material of the new building is wood – for the first time, even the entire supporting structure consists 100 percent of this renewable raw material. Sustainable solutions are also used for energy supply: heating and cooling are carried out using brine/water heat pump system with depth probes. In addition, a generous photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof, so that the new building will supply itself with energy in the future.
“With 115 bases all over Austria, we provide more than 2.5 million members. It is all the more important for us as a responsible and steady growing organization to pay attention to sustainability and ecological compatibility when expanding our infrastructure,” explains ÖAMTC President Günter Thumser on a sustainable construction.
Alexander Bernhuber, member of the European Parliament, adds: “For almost three decades, the ÖAMTC in the Melk district has been the first point of contact for all questions and needs relating to mobility. With this innovative new building, the club presents another showcase project that strengthens the region sustainably.”
ZTl.: Everything under one roof
The base combines all ÖAMTC services under one roof: club services, shop, insurance service, breakdown help and of course all technical test services and services.
The location also has a publicly accessible ÖAMTC Epower speed charging station. The charging station is a product of the innovative mobility partnership of ÖAMTC, Raiffeisen and Siemens. As part of this partnership, e-car drivers can get cheap green electricity from the Raiffeisen energy cooperatives.
