Already on the day of the founding of the WSV on February 14, 1905 two Norwegians showed jumps of 12 to 18 m on a provisory ski jumping hill at Seimberg. The WSV Brotterode built the first jumping hill in 1924. This “Hagenschanze” was named after a local politician in the state council who supported the construction financially. The jumps were about 45 m long and in 1930 the facility was enlarged into a 60 meter ski jump.
After the political changing in 1945 the jump was renamed into “Aufbau-Schanze”. Since Brotterode had developed into a center of ski jumping in Thuriniga, the jump was reconstructed again in 1956 and it was opened with another changing of the name to “Inselbergschanze” (KP 80).
The ski jump hosted many national and international competitions in the following years and new hill records were set up again and again. Many very good ski jumpers came out of the ski club ASK Vorwärts Brotterode which was famous during GDR times.
Later the ski jump was converted in 1968 and 1980. The last profile changing was done in 2003/2004 into a K105, whereby also jumps on over 120 m were made possible. Since 2000 Inselbergschanze has been annually hosting a Continental-Cup.
