History
The Wildseeloderhaus was built in 1891/1892 as a joint project by the Fieberbrunn Section of the OeAV and the Fieberbrunn Tourist Association. Since 1899 the Alpine Club has been the sole owner of the hut. In 1963, the ruined chapel was rebuilt and, in 1970, the hut itself was modified and extended. A further modification was carried out in 2008.[
