history
At the end of 1887, the Würzburg section of the then German and Austrian Alpine Association decided to build a refuge west of it in the Fellenbergkar for the tourist development of the Ahornspitze . It was to be named after Carl von Edel , the liberal politician and founding chairman of the Würzburg section. On July 2, 1888, after completing the necessary formalities, construction could begin. The hut was opened on July 14, 1889. At that time, it offered overnight accommodation for 14 men and 7 women and was managed in summer from the beginning. In the following year, the path from the Edelhütte to the Ahornspitze was completed, so that from 1890 it could be climbed without a mountain guide. For further development, the Würzburg section had a path laid from the Edelhütte over the Filzenalpe into the Stilluptal in 1893 .
With the opening of the Zillertalbahn to Mayrhofen in 1902, the Ahornspitze and Edelhütte became even more attractive as mountain destinations. As early as 1905, the hut was therefore significantly expanded and now offered 24 beds in twelve rooms as well as a mattress dormitory with seven places. The grand opening of the annex took place on August 8, 1905.
On August 4, 1914, another hiking trail to the Edelhütte was opened; this begins in Häusling im Zillergrund . The purpose of this path was to create a connection to the Plauener Hütte .
In the so-called avalanche winter of 1950/51, the annex to the Edelhütte from 1905 was completely destroyed and the old building was moved so that it was no longer possible to use it. It was not until the summer season of 1958 that the noble hut was built to the point where management could be offered again.
With the opening of the Ahornbahn in the winter of 1968, drastic changes occurred for the Edelhütte from the 1969 summer season. This is now accessible for everyone on an easy path, with which only 300 meters of altitude have to be overcome, which led to an increase in the number of day visitors. However, the Ahornspitze could now also be reached without spending the night in the Edelhütte. This loss of overnight guests was compensated for in 1978 with the opening of the Aschaffenburger Höhenweg to the Kasseler Hütte . The walking time of this path, which is part of the Berliner Höhenweg , is set at 6 to 9 hours, so that there is usually an overnight stay in the Edelhütte before the descent or before the stage.
In 1975 the noble hut was destroyed again by an avalanche. The reconstruction took place three years later, giving the noble hut its present appearance.
In 2004 the hut received the environmental seal of approval for Alpine Club huts and has met the quality criteria for family-friendly huts since 2005.
