The Julius Blanck Hut

A hut was built there around 1905 to accommodate Italian stone masons who were employed as guest workers at the quarries in the Süntel near Welliehausen . After the First World War, Julius Blanck acquired the no longer used building and the property.

The patron of the Turn-Klubbs zu Hannover, TKH for short, donated the hut to the "Klubb" in 1919 as a hiking hut in the Süntel . When it was inaugurated on Ascension Day 1920, the hut was given the name Julius Blanck Hut . In addition, Blanck was made an honorary member or honorary chairman of the TKH.

Already in the year of the seizure of power by the National Socialists and long before the Nuremberg race laws , the Turn-Klubb in Hanover introduced its own “ Aryan paragraph ” in May 1933 : As a result, the “Julius-Blanck-Hütte” in the Süntel, named after its Jewish honorary chairman tacitly renamed "Jahnhütte".

The managed hut was used in the 1930s by members of the gymnastics club for around 3,000 to 4,000 overnight stays a year and was also a restaurant for hikers. The "Jahnhütte", later taken over by the city of Hameln, served as a youth hostel for several years and was demolished in 1978. A simple little shelter was built in their place. ▼
