history
Beginnings
In 1894, the alpinist Josef Aichinger , known throughout Europe , brought the so-called “log” (Norwegian = “ski”) from his Norwegian mountain friends to Villach and made the first turns on the Dobratsch . The first beginnings of organized skiing in Villach can be found in 1907. At the suggestion of the confectioner Josef Schaffler, several young gymnasts joined forces in order to maintain the skiing, which until then had only been practiced by individuals, together and also in terms of sport. In addition to skiing, tobogganing was also practiced.
The first "sports festivals" were organized as early as January 1908. The number of winter sports enthusiasts increased so much that on March 12, 1908, not only was the association founded in Villach, but also the founding assembly of the “Association of Carinthian Skiers” with the Villach, Klagenfurt and Velden sections. The “Villach Section” joined “with around 69 members”. The first association chairman was the chairman of the Villach section, notary Dr. Hans Ritter von Krapf.
In the same winter, a first downhill run was carried out from the summit of the Villacher Alpe to the Primele inn. Organizer and winner was the tireless ski pioneer Josef Schaffler. Downhill skiing, style skiing (today's Torlauf) and jumping (combination of three) belonged to skiing at that time. The Pionierschanze (30 m) and a youth hill (15 m) - built by the pioneers of the K&K Army - were built on the grounds of the Villach Alpine Arena as early as 1912 . In 1912 Josef Schaffler won the downhill run from the “German Church” on the Dobratsch with the finish line at Hans-Gasser- Platz in Villach with a winning time of an incredible 57 minutes.
1918-1938
The first post-war state championship was held in Villach in 1921 under the well-deserved chairman Heinrich Haydvogel. In 1924 the "Jahnschanze" - named after the Vienna academy. Painter Gustav Jahn - opened with a jumping competition.
Subject teacher Sepp Lagger knew how to set up a youth group in Villach, which was so popular that in 1933 the youth department comprised 276 young athletes. In terms of sport, the 1930s were very successful for the SVV: The group with Herbert and Walter Steinwender and Gustl Mayer (Olympian Garmisch 1936 ) were among the top international players. Gustl Mayer wins the Triglav run three times , the longest downhill run in the Eastern Alps. Viktor Weissenbacher represented the SVV in ski jumping at the FIS games in Innsbruck in 1933 - the forerunner of the world championships.
In 1932, the Carinthian Ski Association was rebuilt, and the sections have now become 16 clubs in Carinthian and East Tyrolean locations. The Villach section became the “Villach Skier Association”. In 1937 the groundbreaking for the construction of the Möltschach ski stadium, which later became the Villach Alpine arena, took place .
War years
During the war, the club's activities were almost completely idle, because from 1940 practically all athletes were called up. The association itself - like so many others - was dissolved by the Nazi authorities. Some, like the talented Friedl Steinwender or the "all-German" cross-country skiing champion Erich Haberle at the time , never came back from the front.
1946-1960
Under the chairman Franz Berger it was re-established after the war. In 1947 and 1948, SV Villach held the famous Glockner ski race from the Adlersruhe at 3,450 m above sea level to the Pasterzen glacier .
Until the construction of the lifts on the Villacher Alpe in the mid- 1960s , the association was primarily responsible for maintaining the ski routes and slopes that originally led from the Dobratsch either via the Kaserin or the Hundsmarhof directly to Villach.
The most successful athletes were Franz Elsigen (he went to America as a ski instructor ), Gustl Mayer and Helmut Hadwiger - Olympic participants in 1948 in St. Moritz and long-time hill record holder on the Möltschacher Schanze with 77.5 m.
1960-1980
Erwin Krebs becomes chairman of the association. With him, the training under Oskar Passernig (Nordic) and Sepp Grebitschitscher (Alpine) is made more professional. At the end of the 1960s it was above all the alpine skiers who made for numerous successes. From the mid- 1970s, there were cross-country skiers Reinhard Grossegger , the Nordic combined skier and later toilet jumper Fritz Koch (father of Martin Koch ), jumper and later toilet ski jumping trainer Heinz Koch - he won the silver medal at the 1978 European junior championship in Murau - and Springer Alfred Groyer , Olympic participant in Lake Placid 1980, internationally successful in the Nordic camp. In the alpine category , it is mainly European Cup runner Raimund Berger , who later became ÖSV women's head coach for 15 years. With the construction of the V73, the Dobratsch ski area will have its own FIS and European Cup racing track.
1980-2000
In 1980 Erika Gfrerer- Whittaker not only won the junior European championship title in giant slalom and combined, but also secured victory in the overall European Cup at the age of 18. In 1982 there were 23 Alpine and four Nordic athletes in the Carinthian national team and eleven in the ÖSV team. In 1984 Oskar Passernig - he is also an honorary citizen of the city of Villach - becomes chairman and chaired the association for 25 years until 2009. In 1991, Heinz Kuttin won the club's first world championship with double gold in Val di Viemme. Three years later, club colleagues Heinz Kuttin and Christian Moser win the bronze medal in the team competition at the Olympic Games in Lillehammer. Downhill skier Franz Teppan represents SV Villach for the alpine men in the World Cup. In 1996 the snowboarder Isabel Zedlacher celebrated her first World Cup victory , in 1998 she represented Austria at the Olympic Games in Nagano .
In 1999, SV Villach was named the best World Cup ski jumping event by the FIS.
2000-2010
From the year 2000 onwards, Martin Koch and Thomas Morgenstern in particular entered the success lists. The highlight was definitely the joint gold medal in the team competition at the Olympic Games in Turin. In 2008, Thomas Morgenstern was crowned overall World Cup winner. In the alpine world, it is World Cup starter Daniela Müller who is internationally successful. After the traditional ski area on the Villacher Alpe was closed in 2001, there was a sudden drop in the number of young alpine athletes due to a sudden lack of training infrastructure. The alpine group now has almost 100 children and young people again.
The Federal Sports Organization Austria (BSO) honored the club in 2006 with the “Sportcristall” as the top sports club of the year for successful youth work. In 2009 Jörg Moser replaced the long-term chairman Oskar Passernig. The 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons in particular were very successful for the club: 8 gold medals for Thomas Morgenstern, Martin Koch and Lukas Müller , all three SVV jumpers were in action in the World Cup at the same time. Markus Münzer also won the club's first speed ski medal with a bronze medal at the Speed Ski World Championships. The young alpine skiers also followed on from their previous successes, with two SVV athletes representing Austria in international student competition races.
Current sporting successes
Winter 2010/2011 was by far the most successful season in the club's history: Thomas Morgenstern won three gold and one silver medals at the 2011 Ski Jumping World Championships in Oslo, was overall World Cup winner for the second time and was also the winner of the Four Hills Tournament. Martin Koch also wins gold twice in Oslo and also celebrates his first World Cup victories. Markus Münzer is crowned speed ski world champion for the second time in Verbier and member Michael Grossegger becomes junior world champion in para-skiing.
In the 2011/2012 season, Martin Koch entered the list of successes with bronze in the individual and gold in the team at the Schiflug World Championship , and Thomas Morgenstern with gold. Philipp Orter (Nordic Combined) triumphs with gold as the final runner of the Austrian relay at the Nordic Juniors in Erzurum and provides the club with the first medal in Nordic Combined. Lukas Müller also won another ski jumping medal in Erzurum with bronze in the team. Markus Münzer is third in the Speed Ski World Cup. The alpine youngsters are on the advance with the win of almost all Carinthian club ratings (children, schoolchildren, state cup).
The Nordic Junior World Championship in winter 2013/2014 was a triumph for Philipp Orter with three gold medals (two singles, one team) in the Nordic combined . Thomas Morgenstern won - after two serious falls during the season - the silver medal in the team competition at the Olympic Games in Sochi .
