German Olympic athletes have trained here since 1952.[1][2] The facility was improved in 1980.[2] Following German reunification, the facility opened to the general public after a period of uncertainty in 1996.[2]
The facility features a low-pressure underground bunker room, built for altitude training.[1]
Seit 1952 entstand fast jeder Olympiasieg der DDR hier. [...] Legendär ist die Unterdruckkammer, ein zweigeschössiger Bunker, in dem die Athleten ein Höhetraining simulieren konnten.
