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.
Before hosting the West-German Championships in 1957, the ski jump was converted and new judges and press towers were set up. Another modernization was done before the DM 1968, as the inrun tower was extended on 28 meters and the profile was enlarged onto 80 meters. However, after that interest in ski jumping declined and so the inrun tower was deconstructed on September 17, 1977.
