History:

In 1976 in Upper-Bavarian Winhöring in the district of Altötting approx. 3 km outside the town on farmland belonging to Reischach the Holzlandschanze was constructed. The sportsmen of the club did this in complete internal activities and used a dismantled lamp post for a quiet solid inrun tower construction. The profile of the new hill was shaped according to empirical values of former ski jumpers from Winhöring.
Already before from 1954 to 1965 there had been Meindlschanze, which was a natural hill situated on a southern slope. On it jumps up to 50 meters were performed, but due to the southern direction the snow was often very soft already at middays and competitions were literally melting away.
The inauguration of Holzlandschanze was done on January 16, 1977, but the massive judge’s tower, which includes an evaluation and equipment room, was only constructed some years later. In middle 90’s an additional smaller plastic covered hill was set up. Many comparative competitions, but also Inngau championships of youth and juniors were hosted at Winhöring – the last ones in 2005.
Today the club has just as many others too problems with recruiting enough young jumpers, although the jumps are in a very good shape. Time will show if the old faithful of the ski club at Winhöring will be able to attended ski jumping competitions in future.
