The Edelrauthütte (also called Eisbruggjochhütte , Italian called Rifugio Passo Ponte di Ghiaccio ) is a refuge in South Tyrol . It is located at 2545  m slm on the Eisbruggjoch , a transition between the Pfunderer and Lappacher valley on the main Alpine ridge . The hut was opened in 1908 as a starting point for high-altitude tours in the three-thousand-meter region of the Zillertal Alps . In 2016 the original building was replaced by a completely new building.

Names

Initially the Edelrautehütte was named after its founding association, the Alpine Society Edelraute of the Austrian Alpine Club . After the First World War, South Tyrol was annexed by Italy, which subsequently expropriated all German and Austrian Alpine Club huts . As part of the subsequent fascist Italianization , the name Edelrautehütte , which was transferred to the Edelrautehütte built in 1925-26 in the Rottenmanner Tauern in Styria , was replaced by the Italian Rifugio Passo Ponte di Ghiaccio . The literal translation of the Italian name into German resulted in Eisbruggjochhütte , another name that is particularly popular in the vernacular. Although the land register still uses the form Edelrautehütte in addition to the Italian name , Edelrauthütte is the most common name today.

history

The old Edelrauthütte 2006

As early as 1895, the Hut Extension Committee of the Berlin Section of the DuOeAV planned an anniversary hut on the Eisbruggjoch , which should make the visit of the Hochfeiler and a few more peaks in the western part of the Zillerthal main ridge much easier for (...) Alpine travelers .

In 1906 the Alpine Society Edelraute of the Austrian Alpine Club in Vienna acquired a building plot on the Joch and in the following year built the Edelrautehütte , which was inaugurated on August 17, 1908 in the presence of the Imperial Ministerial Councilor and alpinist Josef Daimer . The glacier base was well attended from the start: in the bad weather summer of 1910, 95 early pioneers dared to climb.

After the First World War, South Tyrol was annexed by Italy, which subsequently expropriated all German and Austrian Alpine Club huts located on the territory. The management of the rifugio , which was then managed and at the same time served as a base for the Italian financial watchdog , was taken over by the CAI section in Brixen.

After the Second World War, the shelter was badly neglected and damaged by vandals. In 1950 it was repaired and managed again, but in 1964, at the height of the unrest due to the inadequate autonomy of South Tyrol , it was again occupied by the military. The Edelrauthütte has only been open to mountaineers again since 1972 and is a tourist base on the well-known high-altitude trails. Since lack of space soon became noticeable on peak days, it was given an annex with a winter room and sleeping quarters in 1976, and shortly afterwards an electricity company. Even then, an army helicopter was handling the material transport. Today the Edelrauthütte still has no access or material ropeway.

Together with 24 other refuges expropriated by the state, the Edelrauthütte 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 . After the state government had already decided to rebuild the hut in 2011 due to the poor structural condition, the project by the Brixen architects MoDus Architects was implemented in 2015 and 2016 . The cost of the construction work, during which the new building was first erected and then the old hut immediately next to it was demolished, amounted to around 2.9 million euros.
