The Carl-von-Stahl-Haus (steel house) is an Alpine Club hut of the Salzburg section of the Austrian Alpine Club in the Berchtesgaden Alps . It is located in the Austrian state of Salzburg at an altitude of 1736  m above sea level. A. at the Torrener Joch not far from the Jenner between the Hagengebirge and Göllstock , right on the border with Bavaria . Due to its easy accessibility, the Stahlhaus is a popular excursion destination for hikers and day visitors, but also a valuable starting point for mountaineers who undertake longer tours from here.

history

At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambitions of large landowners to view entire mountains as their private property became ever greater. These included the House of Habsburg with its heir to the throne, Franz Ferdinand . More and more it seemed that one wanted and could prevent the mountaineers from visiting the great outdoors, as was the case in the Blühnbachtal . Since similar conditions threatened in the Bluntautal, the wealthy legal advisor Eisendle of the Salzburg Alpine Club section bought the upper Jochalm with his private fortune. The First World War came and hunting in the Bluntautal was taken over by the Krupp dynasty . Their representatives were much more open to alpine tourists and finally exchanged property on the Torrener Joch for the Jochalm with the Alpine Club in May 1918; this exchange was very advantageous for the hut construction, since the yoke was located much more favorably.

At the Torrener Joch there was already an unmanaged hut, the Torrenerjochhütte , which was struck by lightning in July 1918 and subsequently burned down completely. The Salzburg section had taken on other hut projects and ran out of money for new hut construction. An emigrant from Austria, Carl von Stahl, who had made a fortune as an industrialist in the textile industry in America, donated the money needed to build the steelworks to the Salzburg section. Since the construction took place in times of inflation, von Stahl kept increasing the budget. Construction began in June 1921, he did not live to see the inauguration of his hut on July 22, 1923, but his widow, a younger Austrian whom he had met while on vacation, came. The hut has been open all year round since the winter of 1924/25. The hut had nine dormitories with 18 beds and three mattress dorms with 36 beds.

The original building has since been expanded several times. In 1935 the "ski stalls" were expanded and used as an additional guest room in the summer. In 1939 there were already 64 places in the mattress store.

In 2011, the steel house was renovated for 750,000 euros and the side wing was expanded.

winter

In winter the steel house is also managed and can be easily reached from Jenner (ski area) via a mostly groomed path with touring skis or snowshoes. It is a popular starting point for numerous ski tours in the Berchtesgaden Alps, for example on the Hohe Brett, on the Schneibstein and further in the sense of the "Kleinen Reibn" or the " Großer Reibn ", a demanding ski crossing that takes several days to the Kärlingerhaus with a final descent into Wimbachtal .
