The Alpine Museum in Munich is a museum of the German Alpine Club (DAV) on the history of alpinism .

history

On July 14, 1907, the general assembly of the German and Austrian Alpine Club (DuOeAV) , which met in Innsbruck , commissioned the central committee by unanimous decision to initiate the preparatory work for the museum. The municipality of Munich offered the DuOeAV the free use of the former Café & Restaurant Isarlust on the Praterinsel for the newly founded museum . On July 18, 1908, the General Assembly finally and unanimously decided to build the museum; The choice of the location offered by the City of Munich was almost unanimous. After taking over the building on January 23, 1909, structural adaptations, theme-specific furnishings or design, and staffing, the Alpine Museum was opened on December 17, 1911 with visiting regulations .

Exhibitions showed the flora, fauna and folklore of the Alpine region. The activities of the Alpine Club and important mountaineers were presented. A substantial part of the exhibits were reliefs , the most important of which were by Albert Heim (1849–1937), Leo Aegerter (1875–1953) and Xaver Imfeld (1853–1909). A department that was set up after the end of the First World War showed the mountain warfare in the Dolomites .

From 1929 two more spacious halls were used for the demonstration of alpine skiing (which up until then was not regarded as a tourist attraction) and alpine technology, which was demonstrated in two seven-meter-high groups with life-size figures. Another hall was dedicated to the Großglockner , both scientifically and in alpine technology .

In 1901 the mountaineer and explorer Willi Rickmer Rickmers (1873–1965) gave his multi-volume alpine library to the DuÖAV in order to establish a central library . This later Alpine Club library had been housed in five attic rooms of the Stadtsparkasse Munich since 1902 and was to be moved to the Isarlust building in 1909, while the inventory was constantly being expanded .

The building was destroyed in the Second World War and the collections were moved to Austria in mine tunnels. After the war, the building was used as the central administration of the German Alpine Club (DAV). In the 1990s, the city threatened to reclaim the building because the purpose of museum and education was no longer fulfilled by the offices of the DAV administration. Therefore, in 1993, the Alpine Association decided to rebuild the Alpine Museum on the Prater Island. The exhibition was redesigned and set up by Helmuth Zebhauser, cultural representative of the German Alpine Club, and the museum was reopened in 1996.

A permanent exhibition documents, among other things, the tourist use of the Alps. There are also special exhibitions on alpine topics every year.

The first director of the museum was Maike Trentin-Meyer. On July 1, 2000, Friederike Kaiser was appointed director of the Alpine Museum.

From November 2011 to June 2012 the museum celebrated its centenary with the time-critical special exhibition Berg Heil! Alpine Club and Mountaineering 1918–1945 as well as various discussion events accompanying the topic.

In 2013 the museum received 200 watercolors and drawings from the heirs of the brothers Hermann von Schlagintweit , Adolph von Schlagintweit and Robert von Schlagintweit , which they made during their expedition to India , Nepal , Tibet and Turkestan between 1854 and 1857.

As part of the complete demolition of the old Höllentalangerhütte in 2013, the log cabin, the “original cell” of the hut, was rebuilt in the outdoor area of ​​the Alpine Museum and made accessible to the public in March 2017, including the historical furnishings.

The museum is expected to be rebuilt and modernized from 2021 for a planned EUR 9.8 million.
