The Swabian Alb Association e. V. ( SAV for short ), based in Stuttgart , was founded in Plochingen on August 13, 1888 , making it one of the oldest hiking clubs in Germany. Its area extends far beyond the eponymous mountains, the Swabian Alb , to the north to the Tauber , to the south to Lake Constance , so it includes the former state of Württemberg ; an exception to this is the former Württemberg part of the Black Forest (districts Calw and Freudenstadt ). It is entered in the register of associations at the Stuttgart District Court (VR 2430).

The number of members grew rapidly, from 519 (1889) to around 20,000 (1897), 44,000 (1926), around 60,000 (1955), around 100,000 (1971). With around 94,000 members (as of December 2019), it is now the largest German and European hiking club.

The association is a member of the German Hiking Association and the European Hiking Association . The association has been a recognized nature conservation association since 1994 .

Office of the Swabian Alb Association in Tübingen (Gartenstrasse 19) in the 1930s.

On August 13, 1888, at the invitation of Valentin Salzmann, representatives of several beautification associations met in Plochingen with the aim of jointly improving the work of the existing beautification associations on the Albtrauf . At the constituent meeting on November 12, 1888 in Plochingen, Salzmann presented the first draft of the Albverein's statutes, which were finally brought into being a little later. The first committee meeting took place on April 22, 1889 in Plochingen. At the first general meeting of the association on May 5, 1889 in Plochingen, Salzmann was elected chairman, Ernst Camerer secretary and deputy chairman, Gustav Ströhmfeld as computer and Eugen Nägele as secretary.

Eugen Nägele had been deputy chairman since 1890 and after he was elected chairman in 1913, the seat of the association was relocated to Tübingen. In 1925 the association bought a villa-like house at 19 Gartenstrasse and had it converted for its office under the direction of the architect Gustav Stähle. The house was built around an annex on the western side. a. the stairwell is located, as well as the second floor and the roof structure, so that after the renovation, the outside of the building appeared as a "fast new building".

Club structure

The association is divided into 22 " Gaue ". These are responsible for looking after the “local groups” in their area. The association currently has 570 local groups. The main office is in Stuttgart .

aims

The association is not only dedicated to hiking , but above all to regional culture with all its richness. He wants to maintain and preserve what is special and typical that is at home in his homeland from the Taubergrund to Lake Constance, from the edge of the Black Forest to the Ries . This includes the protection of nature and the landscape as well as the care of language, music, dance and song. This results in extensive hiking and event programs as well as many opportunities for recreation, relaxation and socializing.

Another important goal is the training of qualified hiking guides. For this purpose, the Baden-Württemberg Home and Hiking Academy was founded in 2001 . It is a joint project of the Swabian Alb Association together with the Black Forest Association .

offer

With their extensive hiking and event programs, the local groups offer many opportunities for recreation, relaxation and socializing. Being a member of the Swabian Alb Association does not just mean hiking in a group with a trained hiking guide who knows how to tell about the paths, nature and culture, landscape history and buildings. In addition, the numerous hiking meetings, annual general meetings and star hikes offer opportunities for social hiking and celebrations. In addition, the Swabian Alb Association offers training to become expert hiking guides, nature conservationists or youth workers, lessons in folk music, folk dance, flag waving and more.
