history

In 1899, the Academic Alpine Club Section Berlin built the Gaudeamushütte below the Kübelkar. It remained uncultivated until 1911, after which it was at least temporarily leased to the Kitzbühel section. In 1924 an avalanche destroyed the Gaudeamus hut. In the same year a temporary barrack was built and simply managed. In 1927, the Berlin Section built the current hut around 300 meters further east. It is noteworthy that it survived the Second World War without damage and that it rarely changed tenants. After the takeover by the Main-Spessart section, the hut was renewed in 2003 and an extension was added. Martin and Anni Leichtfried have been the current tenants since the 2004 season.
