The Walser Hammerspitze (formerly in the Oberstdorf parlance Schüsser and in the Kleinwalsertal parlance Hammerspitze ) is a 2170 m high mountain peak and part of the Sheep Alps Group in the Allgäu Alps .
Location and surroundings
The mountain is located between the Oberstdorfer Hammerspitze ( 2260 m ) in the southwest and the Kanzelwand in the northwest. The border between Germany and Austria runs over the summit . The notch height of the Walser Hammerspitze is at least 30 meters, its dominance 700 meters, with the Hochgehrenspitze ( 2251 m ) being the reference mountain .
Naming
Due to the different names in the Kleinwalsertal in the northeast and the Oberstdorf side in the east, the naming situation of the mountains previously known as Hammerspitze and Schüsser was complicated. Therefore, in July 2013 the mountains were officially renamed to improve the situation, for example in the case of emergency calls. The German Schüsser and the Austrian Hammerspitze became the Walser Hammerspitze and the German Hammerspitze and the Austrian Schüsser became the Oberstdorfer Hammerspitze .
In the official German and Austrian maps, the two mountains were named the other way around. In the Bavarian national map the combination was Hammerspitze ( 2260 m ) and Schüsser ( 2170 m ), in the Austrian map consequently: Schüsser ( 2259 m ) and Hammerspitze ( 2170 m ).
In the revised border description of 1844 it says: "against the Schisser ... about the Schisser, who is called Hammerspitz on the Vorarlberg side." While the term hammer is an expression of the Walser German and has the meaning 'rock', the root word is Schisser Coming from the Allgäu region . It means 'the stone throwing down' and is used, for example, in the Schißer Kar in Warmatsgund on the German side. However, “Schisser” is used in the border description for the entire ridge between the Kanzelwand and the Fiderepass . Thaddäus Steiner suspects that perhaps on the Austrian side a distinction was made earlier between hammer head , i.e. the shooter, and hammer tips .
Ascent
The Walser Hammerspitze can be climbed from three directions. The easiest ascent leads from the Kleinwalsertal through the Wildental over the Wannenalpe to the summit.
The mountain can also be reached from the north via the Kanzelwand and from the south via the Hochgehrenspitze.
