history

The hut was built from 1903 to 1905 by the Strasbourg section of the DuÖAV as the Strasbourg hut . Due to the long ascent from Brand via the Zalimtal, the section spontaneously decided to build the Oberzalimhütte (also called Georg-Orth-Hütte , after a former hut warden of the section ) located halfway at 1889 m . When the First World War began in 1914, the hut was closed. After the war, Strasbourg was no longer part of Germany and the section dissolved. Since the then Pfalzgau section had lost its hut in Cortina d'Ampezzo , the Mannheimers took over the Strasbourg hut in 1919 and kept the name. In the early 1930s, more than 4,000 guests came each season. But after the introduction of the one-thousand-mark ban by the Third Reich in 1934, only 16 German hikers could be welcomed. After the Second World War , the Mannheimers tried to reopen the smelter from 1950, but they did not get it until 1956. In 1970 the smelter was electrified with a 70 kW diesel generator, during the time of tenant Wilfried Studer this was replaced by one powered by rapeseed oil Block-type thermal power station . In 2011, the winter room previously housed in the main building was relocated to the customs guard hut, which was a few meters above sea level and no longer used by the Austrian customs guard.

The house is supplied via a material cable car , the valley station of which is at the Oberzalimhütte. A supply road leads to there.

It was not until 1971 that the hut was renamed Mannheimer Hütte . In 2005 the centenary was celebrated together with the Club Alpin Français .

The Mannheim Section always has both huts operated together by one lessee. Tenants since 1969 have been:

  • 1969–1990 Reinhold Konzett (Dalaas / Vorarlberg) with wife Iet and family
  • 1991–1995 Thomas Beck (Brand / Vorarlberg) with Mrs. Andrea
