History
A first ski jump ( ski jump on the slopes ), there was already in Oberstdorf 1909. Reached there, the hill record was 22 m ( Bruno Biehler ). The terrain was not ideal for a ski jump partly because of the strong sunlight. The short run-up and the limited distances prompted the Ski Club Oberstdorf together with the Sports Committee of the traffic and Kurverein for a site for a more modern re-construction to look for. The easternmost of Oberstdorf area at the foot of shadow mountain seemed well suited, because the place was mostly in the shade and the property also belonged to the community.
1925-1941
On December 27, 1925, the Schattenbergschanze newly built by the architect Hans Schwendiger could be opened. As early as 1930 was for the German Championships and 1936 for the qualifying competitions for the Olympic Winter Games in Garmisch -Partenkirchen increases the hill. During World War II fell into the hill. The last competition was held in 1941.
1946-1986
The reopening took place after the reconstruction on 1 January 1946. On January 4, 1953, jumping in the Four Hills Tournament took place on the Schattenbergschanze for the first time. The tour with the Oberstdorf jumping each in late December is today the most important ski jumping series of the season.
The old system made of wood, which was indeed repeatedly adapted and expanded to 70 K, soon the ever evolving expanses of Springer was no longer adequate. In order to host the Ski Flying World Championships can offer an alternative Ausweichort 1973 Heini Klopfer ski jump, was completed on a K - 115 large hill made of reinforced concrete and laminated wood as well as the 56- K jump.
1987-2003
In 1987, the specialty and combination competitions were held on the normal and large hill in the framework of the Nordic World Ski Championships. The wooden tower the normal hill, now K 90, was replaced by a reinforced concrete tower and laminated wood. 1997 two small hills ( K 19 and K 30 ) were built for the young and the large hill received a funicular. By the end of 2003, the K 115 ski jump for the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2005 by 16.6 million Euro building a K 120 ski jumping hill (now HS 137 hill ) was replaced. It should enable greater coverage and greater security. All jumps can be jumped with mats since 2004. On the normal hill takes place each summer FIS Continental Cup Matt jumping instead. The spectator area at the outlet reinforced by the construction of additional tribunes the stadium character. The capacity thus increased from 17,000 to 27,000 people.
2004-2010
Since 26 December 2004, the ski jumping stadium is called the Shadow Mountain officially Erdinger Arena. The brewery Erdinger signed a ten-year contract for the naming sponsorship of the sports facility. This form of sponsorship, which is only known from soccer stadiums or large sports halls, represents a novelty in international ski whereas the contract is intended to cover a financing gap of € 150,000, which gives the operator company annually by the reconstruction of the plant. While the Nordic World Ski Championships 2005, however, the stadium was not allowed to be called Erdinger Arena. Because of the conflict of interests with other sponsors from the brewing industry, the World Championships and the FIS Skiweltverband financially supported, the sports facility was referred to during the World Championships as World Cup Ski Jumping Arena Oberstdorf. In November 2010 it was decided that the 100 - meter hill is rebuilt in 2011.
From 2011
From 28 March 2011 to October 2011 was the old 100 - converted to the new 106- meter hill. The new K -95 jump should be finished in November, but the new ski jump was completed just a month earlier. On 21 October 2011, the new K -95 ski jump with the German women's national team, the B-team of the Nordic Combined and Oberstdorf student athletes was inaugurated. The construction costs amounted to around five million euros.
