history
Building history
The Wormser Hut was built in 1906/07 by the experienced master hut builder Walser, and in 1902 the first considerations about building such a hut came up. After members of the Worms section had looked at the possible building site for the hut and suddenly the Tübingen-Reutlingen section also showed interest in the building site, a first building plan for the hut was drawn up soon afterwards. This provided for floors on an area of 8 mx 9 m. These included a taproom, a driver's room, kitchen and bedroom on the ground floor, five sleeping cabins with two beds each and a mattress bedroom with five mattress dorms on the upper floor and a hay store in the attic. After the construction was decided, the central committee of the German and Austrian Alpine Association secured 4,000 Reichsmarks as a grant for the hut, which cost around 13,000 Reichsmarks. After almost two years of construction, the hut was opened from July 27 to 29, 1907 with a large festival and church consecration. Even then, the hut was visited by hundreds.
For a long time, the supply was done with a mule called "Fritz" , which slipped once and died in a crash.
Over the years the hut has been expanded several times, most recently in 2019, and today has 22 room beds and 42 beds in 4 camps.
