The Münchner Haus is managed by Hansjörg Barth whose family have run the hut for three generations since 1925.

The hut may be reached with the aid of cable cars from the Zugspitzplatt, the Eibsee lake and from Ehrwald in Austria.

The Münchner Haus is accessible on foot over the usual climbing paths to the Zugspitze.

For ambitious climbers the Jubilee Ridge, which runs between the Zugspitze and the Alpspitze, offers an interesting climbing tour.

[citation needed] In 2019, as part of its ongoing fight against the spread of bed bugs in some German alpine huts,[2] the Münchner Haus required those staying at the hut to microwave their sleeping bags in advance.
