The 12 cm Minenwerfer M 15 (Trench mortar) was a medium mortar used by Austria-Hungary in World War I. It was designed by the Army’s own Technisches und Administratives Militär-Komitee (TMK) as an enlarged 9 cm Minenwerfer M 14 in 1915. The War Ministry decided to order 50 from the TMK but the latter preferred only to produce 10 and switch the remaining 40 to the 14 cm Minenwerfer M 15 but no response was made by the Ministry.
