The ski jumping facility at Wade Mountain is located on the outskirts of Oberhof and even includes a Jugendschanze that as training hill by the ski jumpers of the Sports Gymnasium and WSV Oberhof is used. There are also jumping events. Up until 2017 there were four ski jumping hills for young skiers. The largest of the four hills, the youth hill from 1952, was the first plastic covered hill in the world in 1954. All four jumps were finally covered with plastic mattings and provided with floodlights.

description

The construction point (K-point) of the youth hill is 64 meters, the hill size is 70 meters. This makes the hill one of the medium sized hills . Next to the upper area of ​​the landing slope there is a steel grandstand for spectators, which is adapted to the slope and extends over several levels. On the other side of the slope, a rope lift at the foot of the inrun tower serves as a climbing aid for ski jumpers. The ski jump has a 22.8 meter high steel inrun tower, the height of the take-off table is 1.55 meters. The inrun incline is 32 °, the inrun length 82.3 meters including the take-off table. The approach is covered with a combined summer-winter track, consisting of so-called sliding knobs with irrigation, including the associated technical equipment. The exercise area was covered with artificial turf, the landing slope with summer jumping mats. Both sections were equipped with a sprinkler system. Including the dismantling of the old ski jumps, the construction project cost around six million euros.

history

Youth hill

Alte Jugendschanze K 64 (until 2018)

The first ski jumping hill at this point was built in 1908 by the Norwegian Rolf W. Thune and allowed widths of over 25 meters. This makes it one of the oldest systems in Germany. Karl Böhm-Hennes from Ernstthal jumped 17 meters in 1908. Several German and Thuringian championships took place on the hill with natural inrun until the mid-1925s. At the beginning of the 1920s the hill record was 27.5 meters. Until the construction of the Hindenburgschanze (from 1945 Thüringenschanze) on the same slope laterally offset in 1928, it was the largest ski jump in Oberhof with a top width of 38 meters. Today's ski jump was rebuilt in 1951 and 1952 with a 13 meter high inrun tower made of wood. The K-point of the hill was now 45 meters.

In November 1954, mats were laid on the landing slope and on November 20, 1954, the world's first mat jumping took place. The hill record on snow at this point was 47 meters. Werner Lesser won in front of 15,000 spectators with a best distance of 42 meters. Hans Renner was the inventor of these plastic mats, which were developed in Friedrichroda until they were ready for production. The first official competition was preceded by a secret trial jump on the old Regenbergschanze in Zella-Mehlis . In the years 1988 and 1994, modifications to the youth hill took place, such as profile changes and enlargement to K 60, later K 66 and new plastic covering. The last hill record was set by Arthur Pauli in 2003 with 74.0 meters.

From 2010 the ski jumping facility had become dilapidated. In 2011 the planning of a new K85 hill was started. On May 13, 2015, the facility had to be closed for security reasons. The dismantling of the old youth hill followed in the period from March to July 2017. In spring 2018 the new construction of the HS70 hill began. The entire system was re-profiled from the start area with a flatter slope, changed take-off angle and adaptation of the landing slope geometry to the lowest point in the run-out. After the construction work was completed in December 2018 and the facility was officially opened on January 15th, Max Herbrechter set a hill record with 71.5 meters on February 24th, 2019. In spring 2019 the new hill was covered with plastic mattings.

School jumps

School jumps K 34 and K 48

On the opposite side of the slope, slightly offset to the side, there were two school jumps with K-points of 48 (HS 50) and 34 (HS 36) meters. Both ski jumps use a common rope lift as a climbing aid. Opposite the two school jumps was a K-13 children's jump . Behind it was the dilapidated Pionierschanze. Thüringenschanze (K 82), demolished in 1986 , and Hindenburgschanze until 1945, was located between the Kinderschanze and the Jugendschanze . The school jump K 48 was built on the occasion of the fifth children and youth spartakiad of the GDR 1977 in Oberhof until December 1976 as a K-44 jump. The planning of the ski jump came from the architect Dr. Lindner from the University of Architecture and Construction . The cost of the ski jump amounted to 700,000 marks. In 1995 the ski jump was rebuilt and covered with plastic mattings. The hill record was 52 meters. The construction of the school jump K 34 took place for the eighth children's and youth partakiad in 1981. The hill was covered with plastic mattings in 1996. The hill record was 35.5 meters. The jumping for the Hans-Marr-Pokal took place regularly on the school jumps . In 2017 the jumps were demolished.

On the slope of the Jugendschanze, on the other side of the Thüringenschanze, about 30 meters next to it, another ski jump was built in 1952, the Pionierschanze . She had a natural run-up and allowed widths of up to about 25 meters. The height of the take-off was 1.2 meters. Later the hill fell into disrepair. The K-13 children's hill was built on its landing slope. This had a natural tarnish and was covered with mats in 1997. In 2017 the hill was demolished.
