The Köseinehaus is a year-round managed accommodation facility of the Fichtelgebirgsverein (FGV) and stands on the 939 meter high summit of the Großer Kosseine in the Fichtelgebirge (northeast Bavaria). The house, which belongs to the political community of Wunsiedel , can only be reached on hiking trails. The starting point for a four-kilometer hike to the mountain top is the Luisenburg near Wunsiedel.

House history

It can be assumed that the first weatherproof shelter was built on the summit of the Große Kosseine as early as 1805. The Prussian royal couple, Friedrich Wilhelm III. This year, his wife Luise stayed in (Bad) Alexandersbad from June 13th to July 5th, and on June 17th he went for a ride to Köseine, “a mountain that probably has one of the most interesting views over the whole of the upper Palatinate, granted to the Regensburg and Nuremberg area and only returned from there at nightfall ”. This was reported by the Bamberger Zeitung on June 27th. A path was specially created for the ride to the Kosseine, which is still called the Königsweg today.

In 1833 there was a report of a hut on the Kosseine, which was built onto a rock face at the highest point and "ensured adequate comfort" with table and benches. This shelter still stood in 1839, named after the then forester Kadner Kadnerhütte. District forester Ludwig Seyler from Furthammer had a new weather roof built in 1851.

The members of the Fichtelgebirge section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club (predecessor of the FGV) built a timbered refuge on the south side of the summit in 1882, which could accommodate 80 people and cost 241.32 marks. The stone pillars of the hut at that time still stand south of the Kösseineturm . Management of the mountain station is also reported: there was beer, brick cheese and hard sausage.

Because of the steadily increasing number of visitors, the FGV decided to build a log cabin. In 1898 and 1899 the FGV-Hauptkasse formed reserves of 600 marks each, and donations were promised from private sources. It was not until the extraordinary general assembly of March 16, 1902 that the application of the FGV local groups in Wunsiedel and Marktredwitz was approved for the construction of the Kßeinehaus according to the plans of building officer Christian Winnerling from Wunsiedel. On October 23, 1902, a notarized contract for the transfer of the property was signed with the Forstarkar; before the onset of winter in 1902, the shell of the house was completed by the Köppel construction company from Marktredwitz. (Construction costs 12,500 marks, 1,000 marks for interior fittings). The inauguration ceremony took place on May 24, 1903.
