The ski jumping complex at the Eisstadion in Johanngeorgenstadt (Saxony) is an important training facility for children and youth in the Ore Mountains region. The hills are located next to the natural ice rink in the Lehmergrund valley and complement the larger jumping facilities situated nearby at the Erzgebirgsschanze. The complex is operated by WSV 08 Johanngeorgenstadt, a club known for its long-standing tradition in Nordic sports.
The first ski jumps at this site were built in 1965 as part of an expansion of youth sports infrastructure accompanying the major reconstruction of the nearby Erzgebirgsschanze. In the following decades, the Eisstadion hills were modernised several times: in 1978 and 1993/94, and a major upgrade took place in 2005, when both the K20.5 and K13 received plastic matting and a redesigned profile. From 2018 to 2022, the smallest hill, the K4 “Stephan-Schott-Schanze”, named in honour of the club’s long-time president, was also in use. In 2022 it was replaced by two new micro hills, HS6 / K5 and K3, creating a complete training progression — from the very first jumps up to the larger youth hill.
During the GDR era, the area around the Eisstadion served as one of the junior training centres in the region. Nearby “Pionierschanze” hills were used for youth competitions, and this period is associated with, among other things, the documented 24-metre hill record set there by Volkmar Hollstein. After German reunification, the Eisstadion hills retained their training function and, thanks to modernisation works, became a regular venue for regional competitions.
Today, the K13 and K20.5 hills host events of the Sachsenpokal in ski jumping and Nordic combined, as well as the Saxony Championships. The youngest age groups compete on the Eisstadion hills, while older athletes use the larger K36 and K51 hills in the nearby Erzgebirgsschanze complex. The Eisstadion area also serves as a base for cross-country skiing events and Nordic combined courses, as well as local cross-country running races organised by WSV 08.
Although the complex is primarily used for training, young athletes from Saxon clubs regularly compete here, including members of WSV 08 — among them Olympic Nordic combined medallist Björn Kircheisen.
Today, the Eisstadion complex is a modern set of small ski jumps fully covered with plastic matting, enabling systematic training from the earliest stages. Thanks to its long tradition, continuous modernisation, and permanent presence in the regional competition calendar, the facility remains one of the key elements of the ski jumping infrastructure in the western Ore Mountains.
