History:

In the end of 1920’s the construction of a large double ski jumping facility was started at Rosenberg in White Schwarza Valley at Cursdorf by emergency workers. The uprooting and soil works were completely done in hand-work and took a lot of time. Support with necessary materials was provided by the local Linsmann & Henkel company. After the completion the “giant ski jumping hill at Rosenberg” was inaugurated in winter 1932/33 and displaced Hans-Heinz-Schanze in Saxonian Johanngeorgenstadt as the largest ski jumping hill of whole Germany.
With the boom of ski jumping at Cursdorf, some of the local ski jumpers even were able to compete at Holmenkollen, in German championships at Spindleruv Mlyn and German youth championships in Garmisch in 1930’s.
After the end of World War II the complete reconstruction of the ski jump was done and in 1950 it was again inaugurated as “Friedensschanze”. Thereby the new hill record of a lowlander from Brandenburg called Karl Lorenz, who jumped 89 m, was unforgettable. Later the record distance was improved on 91 meters, while on the smaller hill jumps on up to 62 m were performed. This smaller jumping hill had been used until around 1965, but the last competition on the larger one already took place in 1955 and a planned reconstruction could not be done.
