History:

The Winterbergschanze in Ludwigsstadt was a small natural ski jumping hill located on the wooded slope of the Winterberg, above Ottendorfer Straße, on the northern edge of the town in the mountainous Frankenwald region. The facility belonged to the club TSV Ludwigsstadt 1883 e.V., whose skiing section was established as early as the 1932/33 season and organized its first local championships even before the Second World War. After the war, skiing activities were resumed, and in the early 1950s, most likely in 1952, the Winterbergschanze ski jumping hill was built.
It was a small hill intended mainly for young athletes. It was considered one of the smaller ski jumping facilities operating at the time in the Frankenwald, alongside larger hills in Tettau, Steinbach am Wald, Rothenkirchen, and Neustadt. Numerous regional competitions and local championships were held there, forming part of the vibrant ski jumping scene in the region, which continued until the 1980s.
Towards the end of this period, the hill began to lose its importance due to increasingly snow-poor winters, a decline in the number of active jumpers, and the overall disappearance of ski jumping in the Frankenwald. The Winterbergschanze fell out of use in the 1980s, and in the following decades the site became overgrown with forest. In municipal documents from the early 21st century, the ski jump appears only as a historical location.
