The wurmberg ski jumps are several ski jumps at the foot of the mountain range resin located Wurmberg ( 971.2 m above sea level. NHN ). They are in the urban area of Braunlage in the district of Goslar in Lower Saxony . While the Brockenwegschanzen are located at the southern foot, the Wurmbergschanze on the summit was demolished in 2014 .
Wurmbergschanze
The Wurmbergschanze ( ⊙ ) was the largest ski jump in the Harz Mountains. It stood about 80 m to the east and a few meters below the summit of the Wurmberg. Your outlet was northeastward toward the neighboring Saxony-Anhalt located Great Winterberg ( 906.4 m ) near Schierke directed. The jump tower had a viewing platform (see below ).
It was built in 1922 as a 40 meter hill. Ski jumping events were also held there during the Cold War , although the border facilities to the GDR were only a few meters behind the run. In 1951 the ski jumping hill was rebuilt for the first time and after many more years it was extended to an 80 m hill in 1984. In 1991 an extension to the 83 m hill took place. During the last renovation of the hill in 2001/2002, it was completely renewed and expanded to a 90 m hill. The new metal inrun lane (heatable) with glass-ceramic coating offered all jumpers the same conditions when approaching. From 1996 to 2011, international ski jumping for the FIS Continental Cup took place there every year, depending on the snow conditions .
In June 2014 Braunlage's mayor Stefan Grote ordered the construction to be demolished. The background is an alarming state of the building structure, due to which "the next hurricane threatens to collapse". Problems with the statics had also been known for a long time, which is why refurbishment has been considered in the meantime. The construction of a new ski jump seems unrealistic, a new tower with a viewing platform at a height of 1000 meters is planned. At the end of August 2014, the dismantling of the Wurmbergschanze was completed.

The Brockenwegschanzen ( ⊙ ) are located at the southern foot of the Wurmberg west of the route of the Wurmberg cable car above the Warmen Bode near the outskirts of Braunlage.
This includes two school jumps (K 7 and K 15), two plastic covered jumps (K 40 and K 58) and the dilapidated winter hill (K 70). The WSV Braunlage organizes regional and international ski jumping on the Brockenwegschanzen . All but the K 70 hill are covered with plastic matting. The exit of the system crosses a drivable forest road, which is provided with a traffic light system.
