Surname

The original owner of the Reichsbundhütte, the regional association of Catholic youth clubs, was a member of the Reichsbund, a sports association for Austrian Catholic youth founded in 1923. The name Reichsbundhütte was derived from this.

In 2003 the city ​​of Dornbirn acquired the Reichsbundhütte and in 2005 the hut was renamed Dornbirner Hütte . It is still known by the population as the Reichsbundhütte .

history

The Reichsbundhütte was built on the initiative of Alfons Marte, the regional president of the Catholic youth of Vorarlberg and pastor in Dornbirn- Haselstauden . The necessary land with a total area of ​​2069 m² was bought in 1930. The hut was built in the following years.

In 1938, when Austria was annexed to the Third Reich , the Catholic youth associations were also forced to dissolve. The Reichsbundhütte was expropriated by the NSDAP and made available to the Hitler Youth for their youth activities in the context of National Socialism .

After the end of the National Socialist dictatorship and the invasion of French occupation troops , several huts in the area of ​​the Bödele were requisitioned for Moroccan soldiers . The Reichsbundhütte was converted into a stable for mules .

In 1946 the hut was returned and it was repaired and refurbished. In 1954 an extension was built and the sanitary facilities were renewed. Until 1958 the management of the Reichsbundhütte was carried out voluntarily by the members of the Catholic youth in Dornbirn. When the regional association of Catholic youth organizations in Vorarlberg was dissolved in 1971 , the diocese of Feldkirch took over the property, including the building.

In 2003 the Reichsbundhütte was sold to the city of Dornbirn.
