Alpine Club

Sendtner was one of the 36 people who founded the German Alpine Club (DAV) on May 9, 1869 and at the same time the DAV section Munich. In 1873 the DAV merged with the Austrian Alpine Association (ÖAV; until 2014: Oesterreichischer Alpenverein , OeAV ) to form the German and Austrian Alpine Association (DuÖAV, also DÖAV or DuOeAV).

Nine members were elected to the provisional committee of the section, including Theodor Sendtner. From 1869 to 1876 he was a member of the committee of the section, which corresponded to the Central Committee (board of directors) of the Alpine Club.

In 1876 he resigned as a member of the Section Committee . Instead he became I. President of the Association's Central Committee (first chairman). In 1877 the Central Committee set up a sub-committee (working group) for scientific questions, which Sendtner also belonged to.

In addition to his activities in the club management, Sendtner was active as an alpinist, speaker, writer and illustrator. Numerous tours took him mainly to the Eastern Alps. He reported on this in lectures and essays, which he illustrated with drawings and watercolors.

Since its foundation in 1890, Theodor von Sendtner was also a member of the Bavarian Botanical Society.

In 1879, as 1st chairman of the DuOeAV, he obtained the financing of a path along the Krimml waterfalls . In 1900 this path was built by the Pinzgau section. A lookout point at an altitude of 1170 meters is named 'Sendtner Kanzel' in his honor.

Theodor von Sendtner also took part in the editing of the three-volume work "The Development of the Eastern Alps" under the editing of the Austrian alpinist Eduard Richter .
