History:

In 1930’s the natural ski jumping hill at Erlbach in former Vogtland district, constructed from 1928 to 1930 in the direction of Gopplasgrün, was said to be the second largest ski jumping hill of Vogtland. In 1931 the Hirschleithenschanze was opened with Vogtland Championships and the hill record was set 46 meters until the beginning of World War II.
In 1950’s the ski jump was enlarged and in 1960 a new tower for judges was constructed as well as a 28 meter junior jumping hill. The most successful jumper of the small local ski club was Dieter Hoyer, who was sent to SC Dynamo Klingenthal and even became GDR pupil’s champion with his team.
The last competition on Hirschleithenschanze was held around 1974 and until mid 1980’s there were some few pupils and juniors jumping on the youth hill, which was situated some hundred meters beside.
