The Stubenberghaus is a refuge on the Schöckl in the Grazer Bergland in the municipality of Sankt Radegund near Graz . The house is the only listed alpine refuge in Austria.

history

The refuge was built by the Styrian Mountain Association according to plans by Friedrich Sigmundt (1856–1917) in the years 1889/90 and on September 15, 1890, in the presence of Ferdinand Portugall (1837–1901), Mayor of Graz , among others Club chairman and Graz lawyer Julius Ritter von Plazer officially opened. The house is named after the patron Joseph (Felix Adolf) Graf zu Stubenberg (1824-1896).

On August 4, 1901, a bust created by Hans Brandstetter (1854–1925) in honor of Julius von Plazer was unveiled in the Hotel Stubenberghaus .

In 1930 the Stubenberghaus was electrified, in 1936 the south terrace was created. During the time of the corporate state , this was a meeting place for the NSDAP in Austria, which had been banned by the vehemently anti-Hitlerist regime in 1933 . In 1934, the Styrian Mountain Association joined what was then the German and Austrian Alpine Association (DuOeAV) . From this time on there was post censorship and house searches by the federal gendarmes . After the “Anschluss” in 1938 , the DuOeAV was dissolved by the National Socialists. The house could only be reopened for the Alpine Club, the Graz-Styrian Mountain Club section of the newly founded OeAV, after the war .

1971–74 the Stubenberghaus was expanded.

In 1990 the building was placed under monument protection . A general renovation began in 1999 under the supervision of the Federal Monuments Office. To this end, an architecture competition was announced, which architect Karl-Heinz Winkler won. The old log walls of the wooden house could be preserved, the larch shingling of the facade was restored according to the original pattern, and further terraces were added according to the local materials. It was reopened on June 9, 2001.
