Meinhardus Ski Jump Meinerzhagen

Highlight • Structure

The present-day Meinhardus ski jump was built in 1957 and extended in 1964, making it at that time the largest plastic covered ski jump in the Federal Republic. Regular international competitions took place until new FIS standards required demolition and rebuilding.

Since July 1982, the ski jump of the ski club Meinerzhagen, DSV and the Dutch national team is used.

Genkeltalsperre Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Genkeltalsperre is a pure drinking water dam and is located in the urban areas of Gummersbach and Meinerzhagen. It is mainly fed by the rivers Genkel and Grotmicke. The average annual precipitation in the catchment area is 1320 mm, which ensures an annual inflow of approx. 10 million m³. Most households in the area can be supplied with drinking water from the Genkeltalsperre. It was built in 1950-53.
