Facts and practical information

The Bakunin Hut is a cultural monument of anarcho-syndicalism near Meiningen on the 498 meter high mountain Hohe Maas. Named after Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian revolutionary, anarchist and opponent of Karl Marx, the hut was built from 1926 by the syndicalists of the Meiningen chapter of the Free Workers' Union of Germany.

The Bakunin Hut, the Bakunin Memorial Stone belonging to it and the historic property have been recognized as a cultural monument by the Thuringian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and Archaeology for historical and scientific reasons since September 2015. This status refers to the historical function of this site: originally as a refuge, later as an excursion and hiking destination, as well as a training and recreation site for the labor movement.

Since October 2018, the Bakuninhütte is a Naturefriends connection house.
