The Höllentalanger Hut (1,381 m) is a managed hut owned by the German Alpine Club in the Wetterstein Mountains of Bavaria, in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The hut lies in a narrow defile between the Höllental-Blassen and Waxenstein-Riffelwand crest and is open from the end of May to mid-October. It has more than 80 bedspaces.
The category 1 hut was built in 1894 and has had its present appearance since 1925 when it was extended. Since 2004 a completely new hut has been in planning. The cost of construction has been assessed by the German Alpine Club at €2.3M. The new hut is intended to take the extreme avalanche situation in the Höllental into account. The winter room was closed by the authorities in 2004 or 2005 due to the avalanche danger in winter.
The demolition of the old hut began with fall 2013. To adapt the new hut to today's ecological standards, a hydroelectric turbine got installed replacing the previously used diesel generator. Further, sewage water will be treated in a newly constructed plant. The new hut opened in August 2015.
As part of the complete demolition the blockhouse, which is the original core of the hut, will be moved to the garden of the Alpine Museum in Munich.
