The history of the hill
The ski jump was built in 1933/34 especially for the Olympics in 1936 and already 5. February 1934 general test was carried out. Norway's Rolf Kaarby achieved the longest distance with a result 70 meters. Olympic winner in 1936 was before 130 000 spectators Norwegian Birger Ruud with a distance 75 i 74,5 metra.
Also in 1940 In 2000 the Olympics were to be held here and the ski jumping hill was reconstructed for this occasion, but World War II thwarted the plans and this great event was cancelled.
The Olympic large hill was modernized and reconstructed several times again in the following years. W 1950 steel tower. It was the only such modern construction in the world at that time. W 1955 the wooden judge's tower was demolished, and a new one made of glass and steel was erected in its place, three-story, high on 24 meters from the press center.
W 1978 the building underwent another reconstruction. Point K moved to 107 meter, and already from 1996 since the last modernization, the point K is 115 meters. This year the profile of the hill was also changed and some cosmetic changes were made.
The cost of this operation is approx. 2 millions of DM.
