history
The foundation stone for the Munich house was laid in 1894. The construction was very controversial and led to a rift within the DAV section Munich, the result of which was the establishment of the Bayerland section . Three years later, the Alpine Club celebrated its opening on September 19, 1897. The meteorological station with its striking tower was inaugurated on July 19, 1900 . The first meteorologist on the Zugspitze was Josef Enzensperger , who wintered alone for the first time in 1900/1901.
The Munich house has had the highest photovoltaic system in Germany since the beginning of 2012 . 58 solar modules produce solar power on a facade and on the roof of the Munich house.
In addition, the highest post box in Germany is located at the Munich building .
Approaches
The hut can be reached with the help of the mountain railways from Zugspitzplatt , Eibsee and Ehrwald in Austria . The Munich house can be reached on foot via the usual ascent routes to the Zugspitze .
Tour possibilities
Due to the exposed summit location, hikers only find a very limited field of activity: In addition to the ascent routes to the Zugspitze summit, some of which are also suitable for hikers, the short, slightly exposed climb to the actual summit cross on the east summit is ideal.
The Jubiläumsgrat , which runs between Zugspitze and Alpspitze , offers an interesting climbing tour for ambitious mountaineers .
