history
1924 to 1999
In 1924 there was great enthusiasm for ski jumping; The Norwegian Thom Heselberg jumped 24 meters on a snow-built ski jump on Ettelsberg and this was not enough for the Willingen team. Therefore, a new location for the ski jump was sought. The forester and sports warden Heinrich Fieseler , who also ran the ski club that was founded in 1910, found what he was looking for in his forest district and opted for the eastern slope of the 800 meter high Mühlenkopf . In 1925 the first ski jump was built on the Mühlenkopf and inaugurated the following year; distances of up to 35 meters were possible. Four years later it was improved under the direction of Erich Recknagel . In 1931 the first competition took place with the winner Erich Recknagel. In 1950 the ski jump was converted into a large hill with an inrun tower. It was inaugurated on January 14, 1951 after the renovation and was the fourth largest ski jumping hill in the world. German championships were held on it in 1956.
In 1960 the rotten inrun tower collapsed and had to be completely demolished in the summer of 1962; the end of the ski jumping era in Willingen was looming. But because the development for this winter sport was decisively shaped here, the community and the club had spoken out in favor of a new building. However, there were funding problems and these delayed the project. The unique wooden construction in glue construction was built for 170,000 marks. It was designed by the well-known ski jumping hill builder Heini Klopfer from Oberstdorf ; the project ended in autumn 1964. In 1971 a normal hill (K 90) was built next to the large hill. In 1978, German championships took place here for the second time. 1982 first competition in the European Cup.
The hill profile, which has hardly changed since 1949, did not meet the requirements of the time. At the end of 1983 the FIS certificate expired, and so the Willing FIS ski jumping hill controller Wolfgang Happle was commissioned with a new plan in 1978. The 1.8 million marks calculated in 1982 did not seem to be enough; therefore SC Willingen negotiated with the then mayor Günther Rehbein , district, state and federal government about funding. Conditions were set that the construction should be realized in two construction phases. In the first, the hill was given a new profile. The facility was expanded to 108 m. In addition, spectator platforms were erected on both sides. Both ski jumps received new tables, the inrun tracks empty snow and side parapets for better preparation and greater safety. The judges' tower, which is still made of wood, was also part of the ski jumping hill renovation project. Despite considerable personal contributions by the Willinger members, the money was not enough, and so the tower was not completed at the first attempt. The entire hill renovation lasted from 1983 to 1985. In 1984, German championships were held on the normal hill for the first time in Willingen, and these were the last to take place there.
In 1994 and 1996 there was a Continental Cup ski jumping . In 1994 the profile of the hill was changed again. Afterwards, distances of up to 140 m were possible. In 1995, 1997 and since 1999 there is an annual World Cup ski jumping event on the large hill.
2000 to 2016
After the hill certificate had expired and was not extended by the FIS , a conversion was necessary. The old ski jumps K 89 and K 120 were demolished after Easter 2000. The K-89 hill was not rebuilt. The conversion of the K-120 hill to the K-130 hill cost 10 million D-Marks. The grandstand areas were expanded to around 38,000 seats and a total of around 3300 meters of supply lines were laid, for example for artificial snow production. A new functional building was also built. The architect of the renovation was Burkhard Pahl. Since the renovation, the ski jumpers have been able to use an inclined elevator (funicular) and an elevator to get to the jump . The new eagle's nest, the UFO , which serves as a warm-up room for the jumpers at the head of the hill, and the new run were completed in November 2000. In February 2001 the first World Cup took place on the converted facility. From 2009 to 2013, the FIS Team Tour was organized as part of the World Cup .
The International Ski Federation asked SC Willingen to build a new judges tower and a new permanently installed floodlight system by 2013. The project should amount to 2.2 million euros. Back then, the ski club tried to raise funds at all levels. He assumed that the money should come from the municipality, district, state and federal government; one has also asked for personal support in the media and the public. This is how the campaign building blocks for the Mühlenkopfschanze was born. At that time, you could purchase such items with a value of 20 to 1,000 euros to support the construction of the new judges' tower and the floodlights. After completion of the construction, a board should be set up next to the tower, where the respective sum should be immortalized with the names of the donors.
The construction work began in 2013 and the new judges' tower was built by architects Pahl and Weber-Pahl from Darmstadt. Financial support came from the state of Hesse, the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg and the municipality of Willingen. During the building blocks for the Mühlenkopfschanze campaign , 862 building blocks were sold. Before the World Cup from January 31 to February 2, 2014, the tower was named Hessen Skijumping Tower ; Hessen Trade & Invest GmbH had acquired the naming rights to the building.
Actually, the World Cup competition was supposed to take place from March 4th to 6th, 2016, but because of the local elections in Hesse it was held from January 8th to 10th, 2016 immediately after the Four Hills Tournament after 1995 and 2005 . A week later, for the first time in 13 years, the Continental Cup competitions took place in Willingen.
Technical
The Mühlenkopfschanze is currently only prepared for World Cup jumping once a year . The facility can be visited all year round outside of the World Cup events. A 20-person funicular leads from the outlet up to the inrun tower. In the warm season, the ski jumping stadium is also used as a venue for open-air concerts.
