The Anhalter Hütte is an alpine accommodation facility of the Upper Neckar section (based in Rottweil ) of the German Alpine Association . The hut, built in 1912, is located northwest of Imst in the Austrian state of Tyrol .
location
The Anhalter Hut is located at an altitude of 2042 m on the Upper Plötzigalm below the north face of the Heiterwand in the Lechtal Alps . Nearby is the Kromsee, which nowadays only leads to snowmelt water, as this quickly seeps away due to geological shifts.
The hut is the station of the Adlerweg and thus also of the Austrian long-distance hiking trail 01 .
history
As early as 1906, the Anhalt section of the DuÖAV , based in Dessau, began looking for a suitable location for its own refuge for mountaineers. After efforts in Wetterstein and Karwendel were unsuccessful, they turned to the eastern Lechtal Alps , which were still largely undeveloped at the time , where an agreement could be reached quickly with the municipality of Imst , so that on January 7, 1911, the general assembly of the section on hut construction decided. The community provided the section with the building site of 1,500 square fathoms free of charge, construction of the hut began that same year and the shell was completed in October. On July 26th, 1912, the birthday of the Duchess of Anhalt , around 700 guests attended the inauguration of the hut. The construction of the accommodation had cost a total of around 35,000 marks .
The hut had been planned as a managed hut from the start, and the section was already looking for managers in the communications of the DuÖAV as early as 1912:
“Looking for a hut tenant. S. Anhalt is looking for a married landlord who can take over the management of the Anhalter Hut (in the Heiterwand area) with a woman who is experienced in cooking. People who already have experience are preferred. Reports are to be sent to the section board in Dessau. "
In 1913 the Anhalter Hut booked 453 overnight stays. In August 1914, because of the First World War, the management had to be suspended until the end of the war, after an external farm building with winter room had been built at the beginning of the year.
The hut and its management were reopened in the summer of 1919, and the section announced on the DuÖAV newsletter that you had to bring your own bread. The innkeepers were the same as before the war. In general, the fluctuation among the hosts of the Anhalter Hütte was not particularly great: from 1912 to 1970 there were only three married couples as managers.
After the Second World War, the Alpine Club huts were annexed by the Allies, and later those on Austrian soil were handed over to the Austrian state and from then on to the Austrian Alpine Club , which from then on managed the huts. When in 1954 the OeAV transferred all the rights and obligations of the steelworks to the former owner's sections, which had been re-established in the meantime, the former Central and East German sections no longer existed, as the Alpine Club in the GDR was not re-admitted. In 1955, the DAV concluded a sublease agreement with the Upper Neckar section based in Rottweil to manage the Anhalter Hütte. In 1972 the previous sub-tenants then became the owners of the hut, after the Upper Neckar section had already made some effort in previous years for necessary renovation work (new washrooms in 1964, roof renovation in 1967).
In 1975 the hut was expanded after the improved accessibility due to the completion of the Hahntennjochstraße had increasingly caused the hut capacities to be exhausted. Further renovation and renovation measures were carried out in 1986 (windows), 1999 (new source catchment, escape routes), 2002 (new energy system) and 2003 (new sewage disposal).
The hut has been closed for further renovation work since the end of 2018.
Infrastructure
The drinking water is supplied from its own source. A solar-enhanced combined heat and power unit provides the energy supply. Neither a road nor a passenger or material cable car leads to the hut. At the beginning of the season, supplies are provided by helicopter, during the year food and material are brought up with the backpack.
