History:

At the beginning of 1930’s the first small ski jumping hill of the Upper Franconian Schwarzenbach was constructed on “Bergwiese” near the trail of the t-bar ski lift, but with the beginning of World War II skiing activities were disrupted. This eventually changed on October 5th 1951, when the proposal for the construction of a new ski jumping hill with costs of about 9300 German Marks was made.
Then even 600 spectators attended the opening competition on the new ski jumping hill at Döbraberg (794 meters above sea level) on February 3, 1952. Constructor of the new facility was the famous ski jumper and architect Heini Klopfer from Oberstdorf, but especially due to the skiers and operatives Max Jahn and Georg Maier the new ski jumping hill could be set up and open new sportive perspectives for the region around Hof.
In 1958 a 12 meters high judge’s tower was built for about 4500 German Marks and changes were made to the 2.80 meters high takeoff of the ski jump in order to reduce jumping distances. The relatively short outrun, which couldn’t be enlarged due to terrain conditions, had its perfidies with jumps over the K-Point and led many jumpers into difficulties. Additionally sometimes an uncomfortable western wind had a bad impact on the jumpers, too. Nevertheless manifold competitions just like cup and fellowship tournaments had been organized enthusiastically over the years, but could only be continued by the 1961 founded WSV until 1965.
Then the out-dated ski jumping hill construction had immense technical and constructive deficiencies and a reconstruction could not be afforded due to financial and sportive reasons. In 1967 the inrun tower was demolished, in 1972 the other parts of the area. The ski jumping section disintegrated and only alpine and cross-country skiers have been continuing to perform their sports at Döbraberg.
