History:

At the beginning of the 1920s, there was the first ski jump in Mönchröden in Geißental, on which distances of up to 10 meters were possible. On January 20th, 1924 the ski jump at the 462-meter high Kulm was inaugurated in front of 4000 spectators with 54 participants. Distances of around 30 meters were initially possible there. Ski jumping became a tradition in Mönchröden in the Coburg region from this time on. The best distance on the natural hill was increased to 44 meters by the mid-1950s.
In 1958, TSV Mönchröden, under the leadership of winter sports head Helmut Schneider, began building the new Kulm ski jump with the help of the Federal Border Guard. The 66-meter ski jump with a wooden inrun tower was designed by Heini Klopfer from Oberstdorf and completed at the end of 1959. At the first competition in 1960, the best distance was 56.5 meters. From then on, the hill record could be increased at almost every competition.
The unforgotten highlight in the history of Mönchröden was the ski jumping competition of 1963, in which the East German ski jumpers took part, led by Helmut Recknagel, Olympic champion in Squaw Valley in 1960. 12,000 spectators attended this event and Karl-Heinz Munk from Zella-Mehlis set a new hill record with 60 meters.
The Kulm-Schanze was active until the early 1970s. In 1975, the already dilapidated wooden inrun tower was demolished - unfortunately, it was never rebuilt. Since it was located on a southern slope, also the preparation of the hill was complex and there were rarely headwinds.
In 1961, shortly after the conversion of the Kulmschanze, a 30 m ski jump for youngsters was set up at the nearby Weinberg. It was used until the early 1980s.
