In 2016 the tower of the Aschbergschanze was demolished.

The Große Aschbergschanze (also known as the "Asch" by locals and athletes ) was a ski jumping hill in Klingenthal in the upper Vogtland until 1990 . On the opposite slope there were two more small Aschbergschanzen .

history

The Aschbergschanze was built from May to December 1958 as the home of SC Dynamo Klingenthal and inaugurated on February 1, 1959 in front of at least 45,000 spectators. However, Harry Glaß's leap of consecration failed. He landed at 55 m and fell due to the heavy snowfall.

The ski jumping facility also had a chair lift for jumpers and spectators.

On the Great Aschbergschanze there were national competitions (including GDR championships) and in 1986 an international World Cup competition. This was won by the Finn Matti Nykänen ahead of Primož Ulaga (Yugoslavia) and Valeri Karetnikow from the Soviet Union.

Because of dilapidation, parts of the approach to the Great Aschbergschanze were demolished in 1990. Originally the tower was to remain standing, reconstructed and given a new, modern profiled approach. It was also planned to re-profile the landing slope. These measures would have increased the hill to HS 120. Due to mistakes or unfortunate circumstances (this was never clarified in the end), parts of it fell against the tower when the approach was blown up and damaged it considerably, which made it impossible to carry out the planned reconstruction work. Since about three months after the unfortunate demolition in the course of the German reunification, SC Dynamo Klingenthal lost its economic basis (in contrast to the army sports clubs , which were taken over by the Bundeswehr, the SV Dynamo clubs were not taken over by the Ministry of the Interior) and later was dissolved, there were no funds available in 1990/91 to carry out new planning or at least security or maintenance work on the hill. As a result, the complex fell into disrepair and quickly became overgrown. The two small Aschbergschanzen, which are reserved for child and youth work and training, were overhauled from 2000 to 2001. Thanks to the renovation, they are also suitable for summer training.

From 1993 onwards, private initiatives campaigned for reconstruction without success. It was not until 2003 to 2005 that a new large hill was built in Klingenthal with the new Vogtland Arena on the nearby Schwarzberg. It was inaugurated on August 27, 2006.

In 2016, the judges' tower, the last remaining structure on the hill, was demolished. The site has been gradually renatured in recent years as a compensation area for the construction site of the Vogtland Arena.

Data

The Große Aschbergschanze had an HN ratio of 0.511, the critical point was initially 82.5 meters, and finally 102 meters. The inrun incline was 35.5 degrees, the take-off incline was 10.3 degrees and the landing incline was 38.0 degrees. The speed at the take-off table was about 26 m / s.
