history

Bavaria's oldest youth hostel

The story of Jägersbrunn has its origins in the sale of a remote meadow by a Perchtingen farmer to the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH). The association was founded by Richard Schirrmann to set up cheap accommodation for young people and thus enable them to hike for several days. After the first beginnings in existing buildings - such as in the DJH original cell Burg Altena  - the construction of own hostels followed from 1920. In Bavaria, the project started in Jägersbrunn in 1924. At that time the hamlet probably got its imaginative name based on a small pond, because there was no field name "Jägersbrunn" until then. The youth hostel had to be closed in 1987 due to sewage problems. The secluded location on the edge of the nature reserve was henceforth used as an ideal nature study place for bird watching and seminars of the DJH.

In 2010 the Peter Maffay Foundation , which offers traumatized and disadvantaged children and young people the opportunity to relax, had the opportunity to take over the ensemble. She renovated the old youth hostel and opened it the following year as the “ Tabaluga House Jägersbrunn”. In 2013, another therapeutic holiday home was built on the site for the guest groups, a house for encounters with music, games, fun and meditation.
