The DAV Haus Spitzingsee is being completely renovated.
It should be more modern, energy self-sufficient and climate neutral.
The renovation costs five million euros.
The work is scheduled to be completed by May 2025.
Spitzingsee
– “The new pearl on Spitzingsee,” is how the Munich and Oberland Alpine Association advertises the DAV-Haus Spitzingsee.
However, it still looks more like a ruin: floor coverings, ceilings and interior walls have been torn out, the floor on the first floor has small holes in it and you can see old graffiti on the bricks in the seminar room in the basement.
DAV Haus Spitzingsee is becoming more climate neutral
The building has been being renovated since December last year.
The house should be more modern, energy self-sufficient and CO2 neutral.
The renovation cost the DAV Munich section, which bought the building in 2019, five million euros.
“It’s a huge investment, but it’s worth it to us,” says chairman Manfred Zink during a tour.
The Alpine Club wants to operate climate-neutral houses by 2030.

The oil heating system is therefore replaced by a wood chip system.
According to architect Stephan Zehl, it is still unclear whether the building will be connected to the local heating network of the Taubensteinhaus, where such heating is to be created, or whether its own system will be installed.
In addition, the house will have new insulation, larger windows will ensure brighter rooms and a PV system will be installed to provide electricity.
Modernization of the kitchen, guest rooms and seminar rooms
The house, which was built in 1953, is also being modernized inside: the roof is to be raised by 1.5 meters in order to increase the room height in the attic.
Ten new rooms with their own bathrooms are to be created under the roof.
There will still be shared showers and toilets on the upper floor, explains Zehl.
Due to the high demand for first aid or avalanche courses, a second seminar room is planned on the upper floor.
Instead of the previous 93 beds, there will then be almost 90 in around 20 rooms.
The Alpine Club wants to stick to the shared rooms.
“Our target group is primarily families,” says the chairman.
The self-catering kitchen and the two guest rooms on the ground floor are also to be modernized.
For example, a central sink island and a large kitchenette are planned.
A wood stove in the guest rooms will provide an opportunity to warm up.
In the entrance area there should also be rooms to store shoes or skis and a drying room for clothes.
Parking spaces for electric cars and bicycles - work will last until May 2025
The issue of parking spaces had already caused discussion in the community's building committee, because there is not much space on the site (we reported).
The DAV provides 12 parking spaces for guests.
To this end, additional parking spaces will be built in the east of the building next to a new access road.
“But we want guests to travel by public transport,” emphasizes Zink.
Up to four parking spaces are to be equipped with e-charging stations.
In addition to the parking lot, Zehl is also planning around 30 parking spaces for bicycles - without a charging station for e-bikes.
Further changes include a new children's playground and a wooden facade from the upper floor.
In addition, the terrace should be raised to a uniform level.

Construction was actually scheduled to begin in spring 2023.
But the renovation was delayed due to financing from the DAV umbrella organization.
The association also receives financial support from the city of Munich and the KFW.
After being vacant for two and a half years, the building is scheduled to reopen its doors in May 2025.
