about us
die modellwerkstatt
We build business applications and the tools to build them. Our werkbank captures domain knowledge in high-level languages on JetBrains MPS and generates plain Java. With MoAI, coding agents work in these models. We draw on more than 15 years of model-driven development and business applications.
We first met domain specific languages and model-driven development in 2008. In 2009 die modellwerkstatt was founded in
Innsbruck, Austria. A first version of werkbank was in production in 2012 and has been evolving with every project
since: desktop, mobile and web runtimes, and in 2026 the MoAI agent plugin. Generated, executable code is still the proof of our vision.
The team
Brainstorming together in 2008
Dipl. Ing. Wolfgang Messner: Wolfgang studied electrical engineering at the TU Vienna and management at the MCI Innsbruck. He held leading development positions in mechanical engineering, where he first met model-driven development. He focuses on business applications and processes, built with our own languages. Reach Wolfgang via mail.
Dr. Daniel Stieger: Daniel studied business informatics at the TU Vienna and holds a doctorate in business strategy and innovation from the University of Innsbruck.
