etymology
The name Soiern comes from the Old High German "ze sewe", which means something like "near the lake". Because of the lakes embedded in the Soiernkessel, the area has been called "on the sewern", which has become the current name of Soiern in the dialect and over the years.
history
The name Soiernhaus refers to two buildings, the Upper and the Lower Soiernhaus , which together are also called Soiernhäuser . The Soiernhäuser were built in 1866 by master carpenter Schwarzenberger from Lenggries on behalf of King Ludwig II , the upper house as a royal hunting lodge and the lower as a horse stable. In 1868 Ludwig II came to the hunting lodge himself for the first time. The king did not hunt himself, but enjoyed the tranquility of the Soiernkessel with its two lakes . It is said that the king sometimes let himself be rowed across the lakes when the moon was full.
In order to get into the Soiernkessel, paths were laid that were ready for the king with the horse. You can still see the road structures today when you climb over the dog stable to the Soiernhaus.
The king's servants, the so-called lackeys , had the task of preparing the hunting lodge for the king's stay before the king's arrival. Since for this reason they had to be at the Soiernhaus before the king , the Lakaiensteig branches off at the Fischbachalm ▼ . If you have good shoes and are sure-footed, you should choose the more scenic variant of this trail.
The two houses were taken over by the Hochland Section in 1920 and the upper house was converted into a refuge over the years. The lower house was renovated by the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service in 1946 , leased by the Section to the Mountain Rescue Service in 1949 and has served as a service hut for the Mountain Rescue Service on summer weekends since then. It also bears the name Hans-Mertel-Hütte .
