High jump with music

Andrea Bienias in her second Arnstadt win (1982).

High jump with music was the name of a high jump meeting that was held annually from 1977 to 2014, usually in February in the sports hall at the Jahnsportpark in Arnstadt .

After the competitions were dominated almost exclusively by domestic athletes in the first few years, the event has regularly attracted top international athletes since the German reunification , including numerous world and Olympic champions.

In 2006 the Swede Kajsa Bergqvist achieved an indoor world record in Arnstadt with a jumped height of 2.08 m.

On February 8, 2014 the event took place for the 38th and last time after no successor had been found for the outgoing meeting director Hubertus Triebel.
