In 1927 at Mitteltal the Murgtalschanze was constructed by master builder Kläger modelled on Olympiaschanze of St. Moritz. At the opening on January 20, 1929 the best jump was on 54 meters. For the German Championships in 1933 the jump was converted, as a result the large crowd of around 15,000 spectators sees a new hill record of 68 meters.
Large Murgtalschanze was after a conversion according to FIS requirements in 1951 again host of the German Nordic Skiing Championships in 1953. Attended by 35,000 spectators Ewald Roscher jumped a new hill record of respectable 73 m, German champion becomes Sepp Hohenleitner. But already in 1955 the large hill could no longer be used, because the inrun tower construction was partly dilapidated. However, the small Murgtalschanze (on it distances up to 50 m could be reached) could still be used until 1973. Both Murgtalschanzen are today only hardly recognizable.

Post comment:
Guten Tag, mein Name ist Reinhold Bauer. Ich wohne in Forbach und bin Fotograf und Journalist. Dezeit arbeite ich an einem Buch über unser Murgtal. Die Geschichte dieser alten Sprunganlage in Mitteltal interessiert mich. Ich habe bereits einige aktuelle Fotos dort geschossen, wäre aber für das Buchprojekt an den hier zu sehenden historischen Aufnahmen interessiert.
Besteht die Möglichkeit mir diese Fotos in digitaler Form, hochauflössend für den Druck geeignet als Email, oder über WETRANSFER zu senden? Gerne kann ich aber auch nach Baiersbronn zu Ihnen kommen um die Originalfotos dort entsprechend abzufotorafieren. Über eine positive Rückantwort würde ich mich sehr freuen. Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Bemühung. Reinhold Bauer, Langenbrander Str.18, 76596 Forbach, Email: info@reinhold-bauer.net. Tel: 07228-818, Mobil: 0176076236701
