The ''Babenberg'' was powered by 2-shaft, 4-cylinder vertical triple expansion engines, which were supplied with steam by 16 Belleville boilers.

Her secondary armament consisted of twelve 15 cm (5.9 inch) SK L/40 guns in casemates. These guns could fire at 4–5 shells per minute. ''Babenberg'' was built with face-hardened chrome-nickel steel.
