...the cradle of the sport of biathlon in Saxony.

The beginnings of the biathlon can be found here as early as the 1950s. Due to its early development, Zinnwald is also known as the cradle of biathlon in Germany.

Since then, the region has produced numerous World Cup winners, world champions, Olympic champions and successful coaches. These include names such as: Dieter Speer, Frank-Peter Roetsch, Rico Groß, Michael Rösch, Tina Bachmann and Klaus Siebert.

With the conversion of the shooting range and the entire start/finish area in 2004, the facility was adapted to the new requirements and regulations of biathlon. As a result, national and international events such as the German Cup or the IBU Cup (B World Cup) can be held in the arena at regular intervals.

With the German Championships, which are traditionally held in summer, and the bike and summer biathlon variants, this sport has developed into a year-round variant.

Tourist-Information Altenberg
Hallo Herr Baumann, vielen Dank für die Frage. Die Biathlonarena, wie Sie sie jetzt erleben, ist in mehreren Jahrzehnten durch umfangreiche Umbaumaßnahmen entstanden. Der Biathlonsport als solches ist seit 1956 in der Region verwurzelt. 1973 wurde die Arena mit Schießstand im Hofmannsloch fertiggestellt und im Jahre 2004 wurde sie vollumfänglich rekonstruiert und seit dem auch immer wieder erweitert und umgebaut. Nach den aktuellen Sicherheitskonzepten kann die Arena 4999 Zuschauer fassen. Die Biathlonarena besteht aus mehreren Runden, die längste Runde ist in Summe 4,4 km lang. Wir hoffen, dass wir damit Ihre Frage beantwortet haben. Viele Grüße aus der Tourist-Information Altenberg
