Meininger Hut Hohe Geba

The history of Meininger Hütte
 
First, a small wooden house was built over 100 years ago, which offered protection for resting hikers
the Meiningen Rhönklubzweigverein decided to build a rustic mountain hut,
July 1897, this house was inaugurated
In 1925 she was extended with an extension
It was two-storeyed and now offered 32 accommodation options for the Rhönwanderer and was one of the best-equipped mountain huts in the Rhön.
In 1930, the water pipe was laid to the hut, the roof of the extension changed to the gable roof, a lookout tower was set up and a windscreen was built in front of the entrance
In 1945, after the Rhönklub was banned, it served as a youth hostel "Lilo Hermann Hohe Geba"
In 1962 came the end for the hilltop, the Soviet army appointed the hilltop to the restricted area, so the access to Meininger hut was no longer possible in the 70s, they burned down to the foundations
