According to the number of members, the Leipzig section ranks 77th among the sections of the German Alpine Club .
Foundation of the section
Shortly after the establishment of the German Alpine Club in Munich, the Leipzig Section was founded in Leipzig on May 31, 1869 by Ernst Robert Osterloh and ten other mountain friends. At the time, this was the fourth foundation of a section after Munich , Vienna , Lienz and the first to be founded in the lowlands. Today it is the second oldest section of the DAV after Munich, as Vienna and Lienz are now members of the PES.
From a group of 35 members of the Austrian Tourist Club and other Leipzigers who belonged to the Hall in Tirol section of the Alpine Club as external members, the Jung-Leipzig section of the now known German and Austrian Alpine Club was founded in 1907 as another Leipzig section .
In 1945 the Alpine Association and all its sections were banned by the Allied Control Council. A new establishment was not permitted in the Soviet occupation zone or later GDR. In 1953, members who had fled to the West re-established the section, formally relocating the headquarters to Wuppertal (from 1970 Munich under the name Leipzig Section in Munich ). After the reunification in the GDR, the Leipzig section was also re-established in Leipzig on December 29, 1989, and joined the German Alpine Association on May 25, 1990.
The Leipzig section in Munich named itself in 1995 in the Sulzenau section (after the Sulzenauhütte operated by it ). In 2008 she joined the Leipzig Section as a local group.
