History:

Already in the early 20th century ther were first jumping hills at Altenau, but the construction of the first real ski jump started in 1923. After its completing the facility at Schultal made jumps on 35 meters possible.
The construction of the large ski jump at Mühlenberg started in fall 1947. The famous ski jump architect Carl J. Luther was in charge of the projecting of the K65 according to FIS norms with 24 meter high wooden inrun tower and judges' tower. For the inauguration in 1950 thousands of spectators came to the "Große Altenau-Schanze". The jump was said to be the largest of northern Germany.
The organization of German Chamionships in 1957 made an extension of the inrun tower on 28 meters and enlargement of the profile onto 80 meters necessary, additionally new judges' and press towers were set up.
Another modernization was done before the DM 1968 was staged. After that interest in ski jumping declined and so the inrun tower was deconstructed on September 17, 1977.

altenauer schanzen fehler der angegebenen daten

Sehr geehrte Ersteller des Schanzenarchives!
Leider muss ich Ihnen mitteilen,das Ihre Daten bezüglich
der Grossen Altenau Schanze,sowie der Herzynia Schanze nicht
stimmen.Auf der grossen Altenau Schanze wurde bis ca.1975
gesprungen,bevor sie im Herbst 1977 abgerissen wurde.
Die Hercynia Schanze wurde bis 1988 gesprungen,mein Bruder
wurde auf ihr 1987 noch Bezirksmeister.Ansonsten gefällt
mir Ihre Homepage sehr gut! Viele Grüsse Thorsten Koch!
