History:
The first ski jumping hill of Ski-Klub Berchtesgaden was constructed at Stockklausnerfeld in 1908, where jumps on up to 20 m were possible. Every year this natural snow jumping hill was new built and enlarged and in 1914 winner’s distances where already at 30 m. In 1919 Lustheimer Schanze was constructed and three years later the Wahlschanze. There the longest jump was measured with 39 m.
Despite of the upcoming alpine skiing sports, ski jumping still boomed. In early 1920’s many more hills were built up at Berchtesgaden, which didn’t exist very long: the jump at the hospital, Göllsteinschanze, Semmlerschanze the jump at shooting range, the Wiesenschanze and the one on Obersalzberg.
In 1924 the ski jumping hill at Kälberstein was constructed after the ski hill specialist C. J. Luther from Munich agreed to the location. In February 1925 the inauguration competition was hosted – winners were brothers Neuner from Partenkirchen with 49 meters. On this jump German championships were hosted in 1929 and 1934, when the K-Point was already enlarged to 60 meters.
After World War II completely destroyed Kälbersteinschanze was reconstructed and regular national and later also international competitions were organized. The jump was continuously converted and enlarged. Then in 1970’s the long-planned idea of a complete new-construction of ski jumping hills was started and realized. In 1977 the middle size plastic covered hill K62.5 was finished for 1.7m DM. The hill record today has been pushed up to 68 m by M. Meznar (SLO).
In 1979 large Kälbersteinschanze was modernized for 2.25m DM and inaugurated in 1980 with plastic covering. At that time it was the most modern hill of whole Western Europe, because it already had an automatically watering system of mattings, a take-off speed measuring system and in 1981 an electronic distance measurement by Robotron company (DDR) was installed. The ski jumping facility is now part of the federal training centre Berchtesgaden and after 2000 the Summer Grand Prix of Nordic Combined made a regular stop on Kälbersteinschanze.
Meanwhile the whole ski jumping facility is a bit out-dated already and does no more fulfill the latest requirements. A profund modernization would be necessary, but the municipality of Berchtegaden cannot afford the costs of at least 500,000 Euro. In April 2011 the decision was made to invest another 200,000 Euro for the maintainence of Kälberstein ski jumping hills until 2015. After that most likely the normal hill will be closed down.
