history
Young skiers built a small jumping hill in the winter of 1909. The Wernigerode Ski Club built a ski jump in the Bibenstal between 1924 and 1926; the inauguration took place in February 1926. At that time, 1500 spectators saw the inauguration. The ski jump was used as a training and competition site until the Second World War . The ski jumping hill was brought back to life after the Second World War. In 1958, the Gattermann company made it possible to hold a night competition, as they provided the appropriate lighting. More than 3000 spectators came to the night jumping. The ski jump and the facility became dilapidated in the early 1960s. The construction was supported by the city of Wernigerode, the then trainer Elimar Eschrich and the section head Paul Menger. Construction began in 1960.
In 1963 the K-56 plastic covered hill was inaugurated in Wernigerode. Nine years later, the jumps were rebuilt and the small jumps expanded. In 1978, the change to the take-off table at the Zwölfmorgentalschanze was reversed in order to achieve greater distances. In 1996 the last reconstruction of the ski jumps took place according to the latest FIS standards. All four jumps are covered with plastic mattings. In 2005 the Schanzenhausaktivhotel was rebuilt on the site. It was intended to accommodate the athletes, but became insolvent as a result of a funding scandal in 2008 and was taken over by Aktivhotel Wernigerode GmbH. A total of 42 international events had taken place up to 2005. The system was accepted by the FIS in 2006 for a further five years.
The winter sports area in the Zwölfmorgental includes both the downhill slope, which enables downhill training on mats at any time of the year, and the ski lift at the upper end of the valley, which is a pommel lift and offers around 400 m of descent.
