History and description

St. Georg Schanze

Since 1928 there has been a natural hill at the site of today's St. Georg Schanze. After the Second World War (1939–1945), this ski jumping hill was given a 19 m high wooden inrun tower in 1947, which collapsed during a storm in 1958. Today's ski jump was built in 1959 from reinforced concrete in 8 weeks with a 22 m tower height and 43 m arch span. According to various statements, your K point is located at 80 m or 81 m.

On September 18, 2016 Constantin Schnurr (SV Baiersbronn) jumped a new hill record with 90 m.
