History:

In the 1920s, in the Karkonosze Mountains (Riesengebirge), which were then within Germany and part of Czechoslovakia inhabited by the Sudeten Germans, large-scale seasonal natural ski jumping hills were popular. They were created high in the mountains mainly from snow, which stayed there even until May. The most famous hill of this type was the facility near the Alte Schlesische Baude mountain hut (currently the "Pod Łabskim Szczytem" hut within Poland), named after Heinrich Adolph, the owner of the hut on Hala Szrenicka.
In 1926, an Easter competition was held there and became a permanent part of the local calendar of events. From a hill with a 1.9 m high take-off and an "unlimited ridge inrun", the longest jump was achieved by Heinrich (Heinz) Strischek (58 m). Competition at an altitude of over 1,200 m above sea level was watched by over 300 spectators.
In March 1927, sensational information appeared about Strischek's 70 m training jump (the world record at that time was 73.1 m). However, this jump has been described as 'not stand'. Later, just before the April competition, the press reported Strischek's jump of 70.5 m, but it is not certain whether it was the same or a different jump. In the competition itself, in which jumps were performed from inrun no. 2 (5 inrun variants were prepared), Strischek reached 47 m. The winner was the German nordic combined champion, Kurt Endler.
