history

The founder of the section was the Zittau factory owner Friedrich Ernst Berger (1856–1943). He was the first chairman of the section from 1887 until his death in 1943. His successor was the teacher Johannes Gerhard Knobloch (1877-1952), who was born in Ebersbach near Neugersdorf , until the end of the Second World War in 1945, and the associated dissolution of the Section.

The section had local groups in the Saxon towns of Neugersdorf and Zittau , from which on average 60 to 70 percent of the members came.

Founded in 1887 as Section Warnsdorf of the German and Austrian Alpine Association, it was dissolved after the end of the First World War and the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1919, and re-established in 1920 as the Deutscher Alpenverein Warnsdorf, and in 1939 after the Sudetenland was incorporated into the German Empire , renamed the Warnsdorf – Zittau section of the German Alpine Club, which went hand in hand with the relocation of the headquarters from Warnsdorf to Zittau.
