History:

Thannhäuserschanze was a local ski jumping hill of the ski section of TSV Siegsdorf, located on the forested slope of Heankl above the town in the Chiemgau region (Bavaria).
On the initiative of Willi Zeller, the long-standing head of the ski section, the hill was completed in 1953, as recorded in the club chronicle. The chronicle also notes that the hill record was 54 m and was held by the Norwegian Eilert Dahl (1919–2004) – a Norwegian specialist in Nordic combined and cross-country skiing, sixth in Nordic combined at the 1948 Olympic Games in St. Moritz and bronze medallist in the 4×10 km relay at the 1950 World Championships. Dahl was also known for competing on smaller ski jumps in Germany – in 1953, for example, he set the hill record at the Kohlhepp hill in Furtwangen (58 m).
Materials of the Skiverband Chiemgau emphasize that at that time almost every town in the region – including Siegsdorf – had its own ski jump used for both training and competitions, which also applied to the Thannhäuserschanze. For many years the hill served as a training and competition venue for TSV Siegsdorf athletes. In the 2024 jubilee publication of TSV Siegsdorf marking the club’s 100th anniversary, a photograph signed with the name Albert Strasser appears, showing an athlete jumping on the Thannhäuserschanze, confirming the importance of this small hill in the skiing history of Siegsdorf.
The ski jump no longer exists today.
