The Darmstadt House is a guest house of the TU Darmstadt in the village of Hirschegg in the municipality of Mittelberg in the Kleinwalsertal in Austria .

history

The building was opened in December 1929 as a ski and recreation home. The initiative went back to Ernst Söllinger . The construction manager of the building was Otto Berndt , who, in addition to Waldemar Petersen, provided funds for the building and the adjoining lounge area. Until June 2015, the house was named after Waldemar Petersen. The house has been expanded, renovated and modernized several times since it opened. The lounge area was demolished in 1958. In their place an extension designed by Karl-Heinz Schelling was built. Another new building with ten modern rooms was built in 2014/15.

The Darmstadt House is used as a meeting place for scientific conferences, training courses, seminars and for leisure time sports and is operated and maintained by the TU Darmstadt Foundation . Today the house has a total of 62 beds in the old and new buildings.
