History:

The first ski jump was built in 1924 at Kulm and distances of about 30 meters where possible on it. Since this time ski jumping at Coburg County had become tradition and this hill was used until the middle 1950’s.
In 1958 the reconstruction after plans of H. Klopfer from Oberstdorf began with the help of the Bundesgrenzschutz. In addition to the 1959 completed 60 meter hill an 30 m ski jump for the younger jumpers was set up later. People were jumping on the ski jumping hill until the beginning 70’s and the last hill record was at 72 m. In 1973 the destruction of the wooden inrun tower followed – unfortunately a reconstruction never followed.
An unforgettable highlight of the history of Mönchröden was the competition of 1963, at which the east-German jumpers national team participated under the lead of Helmut Recknagel, Olympic Gold Medal Winner of Squaw Valley 1960. This event was accompanied by 12,000 spectators and Karl-Heinz Munk from Zella-Mehlis set up a new hill record with 60 meters.
