history
A previous building was built in 1880 by the district beautification association Edenkoben. The current half-timbered building was built between 1932–1933. The hut has not been managed since 2012 because extensive renovation work was pending. On November 14, 2015, the groundbreaking ceremony for a comprehensive renovation took place, which included an extension in the form of an extension for the kitchen and sanitary facilities. The topping-out ceremony for the new extensions was celebrated on June 11, 2016 . After these massive renovations, the Schweizerhaus was reopened on August 11, 2018 but had to be closed again due to technical problems. Since June 20, 2019, the Swiss house has reopened with a new tenant.
