Ski jumper Kurt Körner came 12th on the normal hill at the 1936 Garmisch Partenkirchen Winter Olympics. In 1935 he finished 15th at the Nordic World Championships. Körner was killed-in-action during World War II, and was declared dead in 1945. In his hometown Klingenthal, the ski jump was named in his honour in 1959, but ten years later it fell into disrepair.
