history

The hut's official opening date as a mountaineering base is September 21, 1936. Up until this point in time there was an old miners' accommodation in the ore mine shaft ("Oberbaustollen") located next to the hut and operated by the JH Dudek Söhne company until 1913 -, lead and zinc ores had been mined. After the Coburg Section had leased the property from the responsible agricultural community for 99 years in June 1936, the building was converted in a month of construction.
