The Laub-Wertholzsubmission at St. Florian near Linz is an annual sale of selected high-value logs associated with Waldverband Oberösterreich and the regional chamber of agriculture. A submission is a written, sealed-bid procedure for identified lots, with an opportunity to inspect the timber beforehand. The market is relevant to woodland owners, sawmills, veneer producers, joiners and specialist buyers seeking particular wood characteristics. It should be understood as a recurring sale event rather than a continuously open commodity exchange.
The results booklet for the 23rd edition in 2026 records 330 suppliers and average proceeds of EUR 781.29 per Festmeter, meaning a solid cubic metre of timber. The average covers all species in the table. It is neither an oak-only average nor a price for ordinary firewood. The booklet separates species and individual lots, allowing users to consider log dimensions and realised prices instead of relying only on the highest reported result.
Prospective buyers inspect the logs and submit bids for selected lot numbers. The organiser describes supervised opening of written offers and award to the highest bid for each lot. For the 2026 edition, sealed bids were due by 8:00 am on 26 January. This is a historical deadline, not the date for a future edition. The place for submitting documents must also be distinguished from the log-inspection yard at St. Florian, so travel and delivery instructions should be checked separately.
The public price channel, marked P, leads to the organiser's results downloads. Products include oak, ash, sycamore, walnut and elm among other species. Price comparisons should preserve EUR per solid cubic metre and distinguish the unit amount from the value of an entire log. Festmeter is not a stacked cubic metre. An exceptional log can have a particular colour, diameter or grain pattern, making its price unsuitable as a general quotation for every tree of the same species.
Woodland owners should contact a local adviser before felling to establish selection, preparation and delivery arrangements. Buyers should inspect dimensions, sweep, cracks, visible defects and suitability for their own processing equipment. Loading and collection of heavy material belong in the purchasing budget, while payment and removal deadlines must be confirmed in the documentation for the relevant edition. Profitability depends on the yield of usable finished material, not just the purchase price per cubic metre. Link inspection notes to both log and lot identifiers, particularly where a bidder is considering several similar pieces. This makes the offer easier to review and reduces the chance of confusing an attractive specimen with a different lot during paperwork or collection.
