In 1929, the hut became the property of the Czechoslovak state and it was used as a seat of the local forest office of Bedřichov. It was also used as a recreational hut of the Czechoslovak government during the World War I and World War II. In connection with the visit of Eduard Beneš, a Czechoslovak president between 1935 and 1938 and 1945 and 1948, a water turbine was installed in the Blatný pound (in Czech Blatný rybník), approximately 800 m away from the hut, and the hut was electrified.
