History and architecture

The Bergiselschanze 1962

On January 23, 1927 there was the first jumping on the Bergisel on the natural hill. A year later an inrun tower was built. The ski jump was completely rebuilt for the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1933 . During a youth soccer tournament in 1941, the soccer clubs SV Villingen and SV Innsbruck visited the dilapidated hill, and the inrun tower collapsed. There were four dead and several injured. Due to the terrible events, the facility was completely demolished. The ski jump was rebuilt after the Second World War according to the plans from 1930. Since the foundation of the Four Hills Tournament in 1952, the tournament has been held on the hill since January 3, 1953.

The ski jumping hill was rebuilt and expanded for the 1964 Winter Olympics and 1976 Winter Olympics . In 1985, the Nordic World Ski Championships were organized together with Seefeld . In June 1988 Pope John Paul II visited the facility and celebrated a mass there with around 60,000 believers.

On December 4, 1999, five young female visitors were killed in a mass panic among the 40,000 visitors at the Air & Style snowboard competition and a barrier at the exit was broken. 39 people were injured, some seriously.

In 1999, the city of Innsbruck announced the conversion of the facility and the ski jump in an international expert process. Six domestic and foreign architects were invited to present their concept for the renovation. The London architect Zaha Hadid was awarded the contract . For the 50th Four Hills Tournament in 2002, the hill was blown up, rebuilt and covered with plastic matting. The construction of the ski jump and the facility cost 12 million euros and was finally completed in 2003. In 2002 the architect received the Austrian State Prize for Architecture for the building , and it is now one of the most architecturally significant sports buildings in Austria. In its organically - deconstructed snake-like form, it takes its role as a true landmark of the city, without being a purely technical design, and presents from each side in a surprisingly different picture. In 2007, the Hungerburgbahn became an interesting counterpart on the other side of the valley.

In 2005 the Universiade was organized with Seefeld . After the weather-related cancellation of jumping on 3rd / 4th In January 2008 the facility for jumping in 2009 was upgraded with a wind network for 100,000 euros. In 2008 the Air & Style came back to the Schanze, the Bergisel Stadium was available for the European Football Championship with fan zone and public viewing in the same year and around 1500 spectators followed the Euro 2008 games on an 80 m² video screen. The bands Juli and Revolverheld , the reggae musician Gentleman and many more gave a concert for Euro 2008. On January 13, 2012, the first Winter Youth Olympic Games were officially opened in the stadium.

Between 1927 and 2003 the facility was rebuilt several times. It is now oriented with the jump direction approximately in the direction of 3/4 12, i.e. almost exactly to the north. Exactly under the take-off table, the Brenner motorway runs in 2 tunnels (Bergisel tunnel), as does the Inntal motorway (Wiltner tunnel), but 150 m north of the outlet.

The run was covered with green plastic mats in 2003, which enable summer use. The approach ramp was covered with glass ceramic shingles in the lane, underneath are cooling coils. The take-off table has an incline of 10.75 °, 6.5 m before the take-off edge, the track is marked in yellow. The tower is used outside of sports competitions as a restaurant and lookout point. The bridge part of the approach ramp is illuminated in blue at night. The cooling system was renewed in 2012.
