For my thesis I'm looking to be able to suspend all figures and tables (basically all floatables, but in my case I think I'll only be using figures) to the appendix, where they are all collected together - preferably as a list of figures followed by a list of tables and so on. Also, they should retain the numbering they would have received had they been placed within the text. As I'm using scrbook I would like them to retain the chapter-wise numbering, respectively.
Side note: I have already experimented with the package endfloat LINK that somewhat does what I'd like to have, but:
1) places figures & tables at the end of the whole document, but I would prefer another place
2) does produce compiling errors from the second run on that render me unable to compile the document from then on.
Minimum work example:
For now my file looks something like this (I left most of the packages inside so possible conflicts can be avoided prior to posting an answer. I'm sorry if they clutter the document a bit):

You should find yourself with a thirteen pages long document compiling this with only 3 pages of chapter and figure content (ranging from page 9 to 11). I marked the space where I would want my floatables to be (as if I could write a command there to force it) in the code.
