History of Glückauf-Schanze:
In 1953 the long-term wish of people at St. Andreasberg to have an large hill ski jump was fulfilled. The 80 meter natural hill, which was constructed by road construction office and BGS at Dreibodental, was inaugurated on February 15, 1953 in front of 8,000 spectators with an international competition. By the way, the sketch and profile construction were done by Heini Klopfer and Prof. König. Winner of the day of the opening tournament was Bjørnstad from Norway and his compatriot Kare Berg landed the longest jump with 81 m. This record is still valid until today.
In 1954 there was the second international competition and in 1955 just a tournament of local ski clubs, then all attempts of ski jumping were literally scattered to the four winds. The largest ski jump north of the Main at that time was then never used and never used and has consequently become part of the past.
