oven (Austrian)

Backrohr is the Austrian word for oven, equivalent to German Backofen. It’s a neuter noun (das Backrohr), plural Backrohre. No special preposition; regular declension (genitive des Backrohrs). Regional usage: common in Austria rather than standard German when referring to the oven’s baking compartment.
