The ski hut in Johanngeorgenstadt in the Saxon Ore Mountains was a place of accommodation from the early days of the development of skiing in the German Empire . Your successor building is used today as a residential building.
Geographical location
The ski hut was located outside the urban area of Johanngeorgenstadt on the northern edge of the forest of the Külliggut area on a connection path closed to public traffic, which leads from Johanngeorgenstädter Neustadt to the cellar grinding shop or Külliggutstraße.
history
The Academic Sports Club (ASC) Leipzig e. V. made an early effort to find a permanent home for its members in the Ore Mountains . Due to the direct rail connection from Leipzig to Johanngeorgenstadt, the last-named place was a perfect place to build such a ski hut. After the acquisition of a corresponding piece of land on the edge of the Külliggut area, which was particularly suitable for winter sports, the hut was built in the Norwegian log cabin style with a moss-covered roof in 1911 . The inauguration of the ski hut took place in the same year. Since then, the ski hut has been used by numerous winter sports enthusiasts, mainly from the Leipzig area, but also by international guests. The motif of the ski hut was used on several postcards until 1945.
With the dissolution of the Academic Sports Club in Leipzig immediately after the Second World War , the ski hut fell to the council of the newly formed Johanngeorgenstadt district, which handed it over to the young pioneers for use. During this time there was serious vandalism damage on April 9, 1953, in which unknown perpetrators broke down the door and penetrated the interior of the ski hut. The furnishings in the room were smashed and the window panes and crosses were pushed outwards. After the dissolution of the urban district, the ski hut was handed over to the local DRK group and in 1964 to the Oberjugel mountain rescue service. At the beginning of the 1970s, the "Ernst Schneller" youth hostel in Johanngeorgenstadt took over the use of the ski hut, established a water connection that had not previously existed and had an extension built in the 1980s. Immediately after 1990, the town of Johanngeorgenstadt handed the ski hut back to the mountain rescue service, who used it until a major fire destroyed the historic building to the ground. A building constructed in a similar manner at the same location is now used as a residential building.
