The Becherhaus (ital. Rifugio Gino Biasi ) is a mountain hut above the Übeltalferner on the top of the cup, an elevation in the Südgrat Wilden Freigers ( 3418 m slm ), in the Stubai Alps , South Tyrol . It is located at an altitude of 3195 m and can be reached from Ridnaun in South Tyrol in about 7 hours.
The hut offers space for about 100 people and has one of the highest Marian shrines in the Alps, the listed chapel “Maria im Schnee” (see Rocciamelone ). The Becherhaus is the highest hut in South Tyrol .
history
The summit of the Becher was first climbed on August 23, 1886 by C. Langbein with D. and J. Pfurtscheller. Six years later, when Karl Arnold , the chairman of the Hanover section of the DÖAV , stood on the summit for the first time, the idea of a shelter on the Becherfelsen was born. The project was supported by the DÖAV, but none of the 118 sections of the Alpine Club dared to undertake this daring project. Not least because of Arnold's powers of persuasion, the Hanover Section decided in January 1893 to tackle the construction itself.
With the naming, originally called the Becherhaus "Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Schutzhaus", the DÖAV wanted to thank the Prussian and Bohemian sections for their support. The most important people during the construction phase were the Ridnaun innkeeper Stefan Haller, who mainly organized the material transport, and the Pflersch master carpenter Johann Kelderer, who constructed the hut. The actual construction phase began in March 1894. Despite the onset of winter, the shelter was completed in August. The opening finally took place on the 18th of the month, the birthday of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
The hut was expanded in 1900 and 1910. In 1922 the Hanover section was expropriated by the Italian state, and the refuge was occupied by the military until 1979. In 1987 and 1989 the hut was rebuilt, expanded and subsequently operated by the Verona section of the Club Alpino Italiano .
Together with 24 other shelters expropriated by the state, the Becherhaus became the property of the Autonomous Province of Bozen - South Tyrol in 1999; At the end of 2010, the license for their management by the CAI expired. Since 2015, the state of South Tyrol has been supported in the management of the hut (assignment to tenants, supervision of management, renovation measures) by a joint commission, in which the AVS and CAI are represented in addition to the public sector .
