The Vogtlandschanzen are two ski jumping hills in Mühlleithen near Klingenthal in Saxony . They consist of a medium hill, HS 65 and a normal hill, HS 85. They are covered with plastic mattings. The ski jumps are the longest-serving in Saxony and are among the most snow-sure in Germany.
history
The association's chairman, Hans Seubert, was able to announce the start of construction on August 23, 1932 after the lease with the forest administration had been approved. The new large Vogtlandschanze was designed by Karl Luther from Garmisch-Partenkirchen . The earthworks started with 7 members from WSV Mühlleithen on September 12th. Around 2000 cubic meters of earth and around 500 cubic meters of rock had to be removed for the project. The inauguration of the new ski jump took place on January 15, 1933, Hans Leonhardt was the first to jump from the new ski jump.
In the following years traditional New Year's jumping was introduced, in 1938 the first night jumping took place. A year later a 3 hill tour was started together with Johanngeorgenstadt and Oberwiesenthal . In the 1950s up to 28,000 spectators came to the ski jump. In 1957 the large Vogtlandschanze was covered with plastic mattings. Three years later the ski jump was rebuilt and a small K-50 ski jump was built out of wood.
In the 1971/72 season the ski jump was reconstructed and the old inrun tower was replaced by a new one made of steel. In 1981 she got a ceramic inrun track. In May 1995 the large Vogtlandschanze was supposed to be converted to the K 80, but that only took place between April and December 1996. The new K-80 hill was then opened on January 4th 1997 with a B-World Cup of Nordic Combined , and until 2007 A B World Cup was held here every year.
At the beginning of July 2003 the inrun tower of the junior hill was demolished and completely rebuilt within six weeks. In addition, the FIS Ladies Tour or the Women's Continental Cup, the Nordic Combined Alpine Cup and the Nordic Combined German Cup were held on the hills . In 2010, the German Junior Championships in Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping took place in Mühlleithen for the second time. In 2012 the landing slope of the medium and large ski jump was renewed from summer to autumn. In May 2013 new plastic mattings were laid on both hills. The newly laid mats had to be removed again due to damage from the floods at the beginning of June 2013. From July 2013 the judges' tower had to be closed.
In the meantime the landing slope of both ski jumps has been completely restored. The HS-65 hill is capable of jumping and is used for training and competitions.
The inrun tower of the HS-85 hill will be rebuilt shortly (enlarged and provided with a lift) so that training and competitions will be possible again from summer 2016.
International competitions
All jumping competitions organized by the FIS are named.
