The Hildesheimer Hütte is a high mountain hut of the German Alpine Association in the southern Stubai Alps . The owner is the Hildesheim section of the German Alpine Club . The hut was built in 1896 and is located at an altitude of 2899 m above sea level. A. The hut has 24 room dormitories, 56 mattress dormitories and 25 emergency dormitories.

history

The hut was inaugurated on July 28, 1896. The motivation for the construction was to build accommodation at the transition from the Ötztal to the Stubai Valley . This created a shelter with 14 beds for mountaineers who could reach numerous peaks of the Stubai Alps from the Ötztal. From 1904 the hut (and especially the number of beds) was enlarged and inaugurated in this form on July 11, 1906 . In 1914, the hut received a gas system for lighting the dining area and a stove for cooking, but the number of visitors fell considerably during and after the First World War due to the political situation. The hut was expanded as early as 1925, and the number of overnight stays rose to 3,500 per year as a result. With the beginning of the Second World War , the hut could no longer be managed. The hut owner Paul Grüner was drafted. When he returned in 1945, the hut had been looted by soldiers.

The hut owner Paul Grüner refurbished the hut that had been confiscated by the Allies over the next few years. In 1958, like most of the German refuges, it was officially returned to the DAV section Hildesheim after the state treaty concluded between Germany and Austria . The association built a material ropeway with considerable financial burden on the members . Since then, the hut has been continuously renovated and modernized. As a result, the hut now has a power supply through a photovoltaic system , a renewed water supply, waste water treatment and a telephone system. Before the construction of the material ropeway, the hut was supplied by horses and porters. On the occasion of the 115th anniversary in August 2011, the city of Hildesheim presented the hut with a webcam .

building

The hut consists of the single-storey core building completed in 1896 with a knee-high floor and a saddle roof , a two-storey, cellar extension on the west side from 1924 and a single-storey extension on the north side from the early 1930s. On the valley side, the appearance of the hut is characterized by the brick buttresses . The northern extension with a flat gable roof houses the large dining room. The furnishings and paneling (pilaster panels with flat carvings) as well as the beamed ceiling on a central support and a joist come from the time of construction. The hut has been a listed building since 2019 .
