History:
In Bernau im Schwarzwald, skiing traditions date back to the early 20th century, when the local craftsman Ernst “Ski-Köpfer” Köpfer was producing skis and helping to popularize winter sports. At his initiative, Ski-Zunft Bernau was founded on 17 February 1924, and in the very year of its establishment the club built the first ski jumping hill in the village. The facility served primarily for local competitions and winter events organized by the club: ski jumping contests, cross-country races, and children’s festivals, traditionally ending with a gathering at the “Rössle” inn. In the interwar period, one of Bernau’s most important athletes was Otto Wasmer, regarded in the club’s history as a leading figure of that era.
In press materials published for the 100th anniversary of Ski-Zunft Bernau, the name of one of the historic ski jumps appears – the Eckle-Schanze. During its ceremonial opening, a demonstration double jump, the so-called Doppelsprung, was performed by Eugen Mayer and Otto Wasmer. An archival photograph of this event has been preserved in the club’s collection. However, no detailed data about this ski jump have survived, nor any confirmed information about its parameters, record, or official competitions.
Over time, the hill was dismantled, and only a forested slope remains at its former location. In the following decades, the activities of Ski-Zunft Bernau focused mainly on cross-country skiing and alpine disciplines, and ski jumping gradually disappeared.
