history
1908-1949
At the turn of the 20th century, students from Jena brought their first skis to Lauscha. The teachers Apel and Mühlfeld each had a pair of skis brought and tried them out on the slopes around Lauscha, which met with great interest. Many locals built such "boards" for themselves. In 1907 there were already around 100 skiers in Lauscha. Since winter sports clubs had already been founded in 1904 in Zella St. Blasii and Oberhof and in 1905 in Ernstthal , 50 interested residents, including 15 women, came together on January 10, 1908 in the “Wilder Mann” inn and founded the Lauscha winter sports club. The first chairman of the association was the postal assistant Waxwing.
The goals of the association did not meet the expectations of a large number of members who were interested in regional sporting competitions. That is why the more ambitious winter sports enthusiasts founded a separate department, but the entire club acted as the organizer. The first winter sports festival took place in Lauscha on February 14, 1909, and was attended by around 70 athletes. The program included: jumping for seniors on a temporary jumping hill on the Igelskuppe, cross-country skiing for women and “art driving” for men. The competitive winter sport developed enormously in the period that followed. What was needed above all was a permanently installed jumping facility, which was inaugurated on December 28, 1911 in the Marktiegel. Now Lauscha was able to host ski sport events on a larger scale. In addition to the sports festivals, the South Thuringian Championships were held here after the winter sports clubs of Lauscha, Sonneberg and Neufang had founded the South Thuringian and Franconian Winter Sports Club on November 18, 1910 in the Hotel "Fridolin" in Lauscha , which quickly made up eight other clubs from the region Mönchröden , Coburg and Gera joined, while the athletes from Ernstthal, Igelshieb and Neuhaus who train in the same ski area belonged to the Thuringian Winter Sports Association . When the latter dropped the exclusive right to only hold association championships in Oberhof, the southern Thuringian clubs joined the Thuringian Winter Sports Association on August 27, 1919.
The effects of the First World War almost brought winter sports to a standstill. In 1922 the association had only 57 members. In the following years, however, the winter sports club in Lauscha developed into one of the largest members in Thuringia. In 1924 and 1927 WSV 08 applied to host the Thuringian championships , and in 1929 Lauscha and the neighboring village of Ernstthal were entrusted with this. In 1931, Lauscha and Ernstthal jointly hosted the German Ski Championships . In the context of this major event, skiing in Lauscha once again experienced a noticeable upswing. Many young people became members of the association and took part in practice and competition. In 1939 there were already 230 members. The Second World War then again interrupted the development of the sport. In 1941 the competition was stopped. Numerous hopeful skiers from Lauscha fell during the war. It took a long time for winter sports to regain their place in the local community. The chronicle shows how difficult it was to start a new sport in the famine years after the war; The winning prizes were, for example, bread, sausage or a live rabbit.
1949-1989
In the GDR , sport was strongly promoted as the flagship of the state. This also resulted in a sharp upward trend in Lauscha. In 1953, the winter sports section of BSG Chemie Lauscha , into which the previous winter sports club had merged, had 110 members. In the years that followed, a modern three-jumping hill facility with contemporary judges' towers was built in Marktiegel. The members of the section worked 40,000 hours of voluntary and unpaid work. The first major competition on the new facility was held in 1957 as part of the GDR youth championships.
In the course of a reorganization of competitive sports in the GDR, the winter sports section was declared a priority section, the aim of which was to train young athletes for the performance centers of the international sports clubs. As early as 1955, she delegated the first talents to the children's and youth sports schools (KJS) in Zella-Mehlis and Oberhof, where from now on young winter sports enthusiasts from Lauscha and the surrounding area regularly learned and trained.
In 1959 , Lauscha was entrusted with hosting the Xth German Ski Championship . The people of Lauscha created over 100 snow sculptures for this. From 1960 to 1987, the Marktiegelschanze in Lauscha, next to the Inselbergschanze in Brotterode and the ski jumping facility in Kanzlersgrund in Oberhof, was the station of the Thuringian hill tournament . In 1970, 1974 and 1977 a competition of the international jumping tour of friendship took place here. In 1976 and 1984 GDR championships were held in Lauscha . The sports facilities have always been brought up to the latest standards and have been certified by the FIS for international competitions since 1971 .
1990 - today
Due to the social changes resulting from the fall of the Wall in 1989, sport temporarily moved into the background. However, some sports fans quickly reflected on the winter sports tradition of the place. The winter sports department of the newly founded sports club Lauscha eV organized the 1st Thuringian state championship after reunification . In the 1993/94 season an intercontinental cup competition was carried out. The organizer received the highest recognition from the International Ski Federation FIS and the competition in Lauscha became a fixed date in the international competition calendar. In 1997 the city of Lauscha transferred the ski jumping facility to the winter sports club. Thus the way was free to apply for funding and also to win larger sponsors. Intercontinental Cup and Continental Cup ski jumping competitions were regularly held on the facility until 2004/05 ; FIS Cup competitions were held here from 2005/06 . In addition, the WSV 08 Lauscha organizes competitions in the junior and youth sector , such as the Alpine Cup , the DSV JOSKA Youth Cup Germany Cup , ranking competitions of the Thuringian Ski Association and regional and district youth games. At the end of the 2009/10 season, the WSV 08 Lauscha was named organizer of the year by the Thuringian Ski Association on June 10, 2010 . From February 27 to March 1, 2015, the German Nordic Youth Championships ski jumping / Nordic combined took place here.
