History:

On October 28th 1928 the Ski-Club Sohland an der Spree was founded after the wishes of many members of the local hiking club “Alpenveilchen”. Because of a fast growing number of members, building new sports facilities became more and more important, mainly construction new ski jumps. Always following the will to be able to jump better and wider.
1929: First ski jump at "Schreibers Berg" (Widths of about 11 meters)
1930: New ski jumping hill at the "Schwarze Koppe" (Widths up to 20 m)
1931: Reconstruction of the ski jump at the "Schwarze Koppe" (13 meter high inrun tower made jumps on 30 m possible)
1949: Construction of a provisional hill at "Schreibers Berg"
1952: Reconstruction of the jump at the Schwarzen Koppe as "Schanze der Freundschaft" – Construction of a pioneer hill at "Kuhberg"
1957: Construction of a new pioneer hill at the stone mine at "Thiele-See"
In the first 30 years the ski club could only practise and hold competitions at Sohland in winters with enough snow, but in 1959 there was an important turning point, because of the covering with plastic mattings of the “Schanze der Freundschaft”.
1959: Covering of the "Schanze der Freundschaft" with mattings
1969-1972: Construction of the plastic covered "Tännichtschanze" (KP 27,5 m)
1975: Setting up of a youth hill (KP 8 m) at "Skisportzentrum Tännichtschanze"
In October 1999 pupils discovered the landing hill of former “Schanze der Freundschaft” at Schwarze Koppe an constructed a new 7 m high wooden inrun tower. On 2000-01-01 the opening of the new ski jumping hill took place and since the jump has been used few times in the winters.
