History:

The ski jumping facility „Alte Ruhl“ in Ruhla 10 km north of Brotterode is the main practising area of the winter sportsmen of Ruhla. Already in 1925 in Lappengrund a ski jump was built on which also international competitions took place.
In 1959 this jump was replaced by the new facility "Alte Ruhl". Four ski jumps are prepared for training and competitions. The jumping hills K10, K17 and the Hans-Hess-Schanze K37 are covered with plastic mattings and have a ceramic inrun trail. Additionally there is the youth hill “Jugendschanze” with a K-Point of 57 m and a hill record of 61,5 m heelf by Ralf Gebstedt.
The facility “Alte Ruhl” is placed above Ruhla, about 400 m after the end of the town in the direction of Bad Liebenstein/Brotterode.
The most famous sportsmen from Ruhla are the vice world champion in ski jumping at Oslo 1967 and several times Holmenkollen winner Dieter Neuendorf, and the world champion of Lahti 2001 in Nordic combination Marko Baacke. Ruhla is internationally displayed at the moment by the German champion in ladies ski jumping 2004 Juliane Seyfarth.
