History:
Totenschanze was located on a steep, forested slope above the Kurvenlift ski tow in the Spitzingsee ski area in the Bavarian Mangfall Mountains and was organizationally linked to the SC Spitzingsee club.
The hill was part of the rich ski jumping tradition of the municipality of Schliersee, where in the 20th century at least several facilities of this type operated, both in the valley and on the higher terrain surrounding Spitzingsee. In its immediate vicinity were, among others, the Valepper-Schanze and the private, approximately 30-meter training hill of Horst Möhwald – an SC Spitzingsee athlete, Olympian and one of the key figures of local winter sports. According to his accounts, jumps of up to around 50 meters were possible on Totenschanze. The hill was used not only by ski jumpers but also by alpine skiers, who incorporated it into training of aerial elements.
The name “Totenschanze” has long been the subject of local speculation. A legend speaks of a tragic accident that might explain its dark tone, yet no reliable documents exist to confirm such an event. The origin of the name therefore remains unclear and essentially undocumented.
Everything indicates that the facility was used mainly for training purposes and operated in its natural state, without significant construction adaptations. Over time it fell into disuse and was completely removed. Today no visible remains of the structure can be found in the terrain.
