Oberhof bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track
The Oberhof bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track is a venue used for bobsled, luge and skeleton located in Oberhof, Germany.
==History==
Oberhof had been the home of sledding activities since 1905, mostly bobsleigh. 〔(Track data of Oberhof luge and bobsleigh ) 〕 In 1931, the facility hosted the first ever FIBT World Championships in the two-man bobsleigh event won by the two-man German team of Hanns Killian and Sebastian Huber.〔(List of Bobsleigh two-man world championship medalists since 1931 )〕 After World War II, Oberhof was partitioned into East Germany. Following the successes of the East Germans at the FIL World Luge Championships during the 1960s with Thomas Köhler (men's singles world champion in 1962 and 1967, men's doubles world champion in 1965 and 1967), Ilse Geisler (women's singles world champion in 1962 and 1963), Ortrun Enderlein (women's singles world champion in 1965 and 1967), Petra Tierlich (women's singles world champion in 1969, Wolfgang Scheidel (men's doubles world champion in 1965), and Klaus Bonsack (men's doubles world champion in 1967), the East German government decided it was time to construct a permanent, artificially refrigerated reinforced concrete track for year-round training and usage. 〔(Men's singles luge world champions since 1955 )〕〔(Women's singles luge world champions since 1955 )〕〔(Men's doubles world luge champions since 1955 )〕 In 1966, East Germany was awarded the FIL World Luge Championships in Friedrichroda (misspelled as Friedrichsroda), but the event was cancelled.〔"Luge and Olympism." ''Olympic Review''. December 1983. p. 862.〕 The success of the first permanent bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track in Königssee, West Germany, completed in 1968 and first used for the world luge championships the following year, also played a factor.〔"Bobsleigh and Olympism". ''Olympic Review''. December 1984. p. 1011.〕〔"Luge and Olympism". ''Olympic Review''. December 1983. p. 853.〕 In 1969, it was decided to construct a permanent facility in Oberhof.〔(History of the Oberhof track. ) 〕 The track was completed in 1971 with a World Cup test taking place the following year. 〔 Since then the track has hosted World Cup events, mostly in luge though it has hosted events in bobsleigh (1974 in two-man) and skeleton (1993). 〔 Oberhof has also undergone three track renovations, the first in 1996 where it was closed from April to October for a total reconstruction, a second in 2002 when a new ammonia refrigeration system was installed and turn 14 was modified for safety reason, and a third in 2006 when new start houses were built for both men and women, and turn 7's profile was modified for safety reasons.〔 The most recent cost to renovate the track was €4 million.〔 (22 January 2008 article accessed 3 December 2009.〕
