history

The people of Kitzbühel built a new ski jumping facility in autumn 1904. The ski jumping hill was made fit by Franz Reisch himself, it and its later enlargement became for years a training facility particularly popular with Munich and Innsbruckers. On the 1st Schattberg, the jumping hill had a very favorable gradient and exceeded the famous Norwegian Homenkol with a mean gradient of 1: 2.23 (23 degrees 1 ') and the steepest gradient of 1: 1.88 (28 degrees 1') . During this time the Schattbergschanze was the first artificial jumping hill in Tyrol . From January 14th to 16th, 1905, the 1st Tyrolean Ski Championships took place in Kitzbühel. Johann Wallner won the jump on the senior jump on Schattberg with 12.5 meters and was the only one who did the jump without a fall. The jump has a jumping wall height of 1.5 m, an inrun incline of 20 degrees and a downward slope of 28 degrees. A year later, on January 21, 1906, a jumping took place as part of a winter sports festival. Only the jumps that were made were counted.

On January 6, 1907, the Kitzbüheler Ski Club (KSC) also held the ski jumping (or Nordic combined ) competitions on the occasion of the 1st Austrian Ski Championships , at that time Rudolf Biehler from Freiburg won with a distance of around 20 m. With his brother Bruno Biehler he - like Viktor Sohm (Bregenz) and Karl Gruber (Munich) - performed a legendary double jump. The Kitzbühelerin Paula von Lamberg , called the "floating countess" jumped in the following year, 1908, "in a long skirt and impeccable posture" a remarkable 24 m. It was from this time that Kitzbühel became known as a ski jumping stronghold, which lasted until the 1940s.

The Grubschanze was built between 1921 and 1924 and inaugurated on January 6, 1924. On February 8, 1925, Ole Reistad won ski jumping on the Grubschanze with a width of 49 meters and was named champion of Germany and Austria at the first German-Austrian ski championship. On September 18, 1929, it was decided not to build the bobsleigh run, but the Burgstallschanze near Burgstall . In 1930 the opening competition of the Burgstallschanze took place, which Josef Sailer won. The new ski jump was built according to the plans of Hans Zimmermann from Kitzbühel and was considered the safest ski jump in Europe at the time and was the first in Austria to be built according to aerodynamic laws. However, this hill was destroyed by a landslide in 1952, and Kitzbühel lost its connection to the international series - it was considered to be included in the German-Austrian ski jumping tournament at the time - and in overall importance in ski jumping. After the first attempts to reactivate the Grubschanze in 1966/67 failed, the two new ski jumps at Schattberg K45 and K35 were built in 1975 with the support of Erwin Steidl, local real estate entrepreneur.

In the summer of 1996 the ski jumping facility was revised by the ski jumping instructor Anderl Feyrsinger and with many helpers. The terrain was corrected and a new wooden inrun tower was built. In addition, the K15 hill was built for the youngsters. Two years later, in autumn 1998, the small snowmaking system for the Schattbergschanze was approved and purchased. Because of the high costs, there was no mat allocation. In autumn 1999 there were problems with the start-up speed. At the Großer Schattbergschanze K45 the wooden inrun tower was raised and the inrun track made steeper. The middle hill K35 was also adapted in the area of ​​the inrun track and at the take-off table. On May 19, 2003, the responsible persons at KSC and Toni Innauer from the ÖSV visited the Schattbergschanze to develop a short, medium and long-term development plan. From December 12th to 14th, 2006, the new renovated Schattbergschanze with new inrun towers was reopened with a night jump. In the 2006/07 season, two smaller plastic covered jumps were built (K 10, K 20), on which children and schoolchildren competitions could be held and year-round operation is possible. The jumps were reopened on January 9th 2007 by Toni Innauer. Another renovation took place between 2011 and 2012.

Today's jump operation

The Schattberg ski jumping center is only of regional importance today. The Tyrolean State Cup takes place on the four ski jumps, otherwise there is local KSC training for the eastern Tyrolean region, especially for children and schoolchildren, who can use the new plastic covered hills all year round.

The current record holder is Gregor Schlierenzauer with 51.5 m.
