From the Altes Lager to Albgut.

In 1895, under King Wilhelm II, one of the largest barracks in Württemberg was built here. Today it is one of the largest listed monuments in Baden-Württemberg and a lively place for guests, workshops and celebrations.

1895King Wilhelm II of Württemberg has one of the first modern military training areas laid out near Münsingen.
1915New barracks are built in Münsingen, and from now on the hutted camp is called the Altes Lager, the old camp.
1946 to 1992French forces train here. Names such as Place de France are a reminder of this today.
1992 to 2005The German armed forces use the site. The training area closes at the end of 2005.
2008The former training area becomes part of the Swabian Alb Biosphere Reserve.
2015Franz Tress takes over the Altes Lager, founds albgut GmbH and begins the restoration.

Since 2015 we have been working with heart and soul, and a love of nature and tradition, to bring the listed site and its 140 historic buildings back to life.

Worth a trip, even without staying the night.

Come for an afternoon. In the workshops you can watch pasta, chocolate and soap being made, and on Sundays the Albguides show visitors round the site.
