A. and is a stage destination of the Berliner Höhenweg . The house is located directly above the Friesenbergsee between the Hohen Riffler and the Frozen Wall Peaks. Since November 2011 the hut has had the environmental seal of approval for Alpine Club huts . The house is part of the DAV initiative "This is how the mountains taste" and "With children in huts".
history
The creation of the Friesenberghaus is closely related to the debate about anti-Semitism in the German and Austrian Alpine Association (DuOeAV). After the Austria section of the DuOeAV had included an " Aryan paragraph " in its statutes in 1921 , Jewish and non-Jewish members of Austria founded the new Donauland section in protest against this , which despite persistent defamation by anti-Semitic mountaineers organized according to German nationality , developed into the third largest Austrian Alpine Club section. But at the end of 1924 the German nationalist side succeeded in excluding Donauland from the DuOeAV at an extraordinary general meeting for flimsy reasons. The resistance from other sections was only weak at this time, only the sections Aachen , Barmen , Berlin , Essen , Frankfurt am Main , Gelsenkirchen , Gummersbach , Leipzig , Mainz , Marburg , Zwickau and Gleiwitz (out of a total of more than 300) tried To prevent exclusion. Out of solidarity and to support Donauland, 600 Berlin mountaineers also founded a new association ( Deutscher Alpenverein Berlin ), which planned the Friesenberghaus together with Donauland and brought the shell construction under roof in 1929. The house was already being managed in 1931, and it was officially opened on July 3, 1932. In 1934 the Berlin Association was banned by the National Socialists , and in 1938 after the annexation of Austria , the Danube country as well. The Friesenberghaus was then confiscated by the Wehrmacht .
After 1945 it was completely looted. The few Holocaust survivors of the Donauland section were unable to repair and maintain the house, so it was finally transferred to the Berlin section in 1968. In 2003, after a thorough renovation and expansion, it became an international meeting place against intolerance and hatred.
Today 12 wooden chairs in the Friesenberghaus remind of the resistance sections of 1924.
In 2002/03 the Friesenberghaus was modernized and expanded, but the original character was retained.
Furnishing
The Friesenberghaus has 32 beds divided into several camps and 34 beds in (multi-bed) rooms. A separate winter room with 6 beds is available. Three guest rooms and a terrace are available for day and overnight guests as well as drying room / shoe room. There are several washrooms / toilets in the house and two showers. The guest rooms can be heated with tiled stoves, electricity is available for the hut operation. There is a kitchen for the hut catering (fresh food, drinks), the hut is supplied by helicopter (helicopter landing area above the hut).
Approach
The hut is located almost 700 meters north of the Schlegeis reservoir in the Zamser Grund . From the parking lot at the reservoir it can be easily reached via the AV path no.532, which begins at the Neue Dominikushütte in a walking time of around two and a half hours via the Friesenbergalm. Alternatively, the Friesenberghaus can also be reached directly from the Alpengasthof Breitlahner im Zemmgrund (toll station on Schlegeis-Alpenstraße, parking lot) on a hiking trail in around 4 hours (difference in altitude around 1,300 meters; medium-difficult (mountain trail category red dot according to ÖAV)).
