History:

The making of the sports field in the Saxon Walthersdorf was kicked off in 1959 and with this measure the construction of a ski jump was ideal at the side ascending mountain slope. Under management of sports enthusiast Rudi Rabenstein, who had been building technical knowledge through his work at WISMUT, the sportsmen being fascinated of football and skiing, started the work in the district of Annaberg. The planning documents for the making were obtained from Oberwiesenthal and the ski jumping hill was completed and opened until winter 1960.
The ski jump then had been used until 1970, while several town and district championships were hosted there and also not to forget the very popular carnival competitions, as well as the 3 hills tournament of pioneers Waltehrsdorf-Elterlein-Geyer.
Since the outrun of the hill run led over the Zschopau and was only executed quite provisionally, the plan of a plastic covering of the hill failed at the end of the 60s, because of the restrictions of the office of water economy. According to that it got quiet around the Fuchsleithenschanze and it was dismantled later. Today even the former takeoff from natural stone is overgrown and hardly recognizable.
