History:
The first ski jumping hill in Pöhla was the Albert-Lein-Schanze, built in 1932 and initially known as the “Luchsbachschanze”. The facility remained in use until around 1950. The cornerstone ceremony for a new complex on the “Hügel” took place in October 1948, and the Pöhlbachschanzen were officially opened on 6 February 1949. In 1955, national competitions were held here in front of 3,000 spectators, featuring jumpers from both East and West Germany. In 1958, the hill was covered with plastic matting, and on 31 October of that year the first summer competitions were held, featuring leading GDR athletes.
The old wooden inrun tower was dismantled in 1964, and on 20 October 1968 a thoroughly rebuilt complex with a masonry inrun tower and additional K10, K20 and K38 hills was inaugurated. From 1974 to 2001, Pöhla was a permanent venue of the Erzgebirgs-Mattentournee together with Klingenthal and Oberwiesenthal. For a time, the Richard-Jahn-Schanze on the “Zigeuner”, opened on 13 February 1955 and allowing jumps up to 32 metres, served as an additional training hill.
The last major reconstruction of the main hill took place in 2000. In the following years, the venue quickly became an important centre of women’s summer ski jumping. From 2001 the Ladies Cup was held here, and from 2002 international FIS competitions. Between 2005 and 2009 Pöhla hosted the women’s FIS Continental Cup in summer, and later regularly organised FIS Ladies Cup and Alpen Cup events. After the break caused by the 2020 pandemic, these competitions returned from the 2021 season onwards, and in 2022 the complex celebrated the 20th anniversary of women’s summer ski jumping, preceded by a swift modernisation of the inrun and the renewal of the FIS homologation.
In 2023 the modernisation of the outdated children’s hills began. The former K10 and K20 were replaced by new K11 and K20 hills, integrated into a widened, shared landing slope, giving the entire complex the character of an arena. In 2024 the arena again hosted Alpen Cup competitions as well as another edition of the nationwide Nordcup. The festive inauguration of the new hills and the official naming of the complex as the Jens-Weißflog-Skisprung-Arena took place on 22 June 2025. Jens Weißflog is the most famous ski jumper from Pöhla – an Olympic champion and multiple world championship medallist who began his training on the Pöhlbachschanzen before moving to the training centre in Oberwiesenthal. He still runs a hotel in Oberwiesenthal today.
