Map
Inzell is a German village in Bayern (Bavaria), close to the Austrian border, with a population of approximately 3,000. The Deutscher Eisschnellauf-Club Frillensee was founded in 1959, and they initially used the Frillensee lake, near Inzell. The artificial track "Ludwig Schwabl Stadion" was built in 1965, opening 11 December 1965, and has since been a record breaking venue. The first World Record was set by Ard Schenk in 1966 - 4.26,2 on 3000 m.
Until 1985, 62 senior World Records were set in Inzell, only surpassed by Davos and Medeo. Like other outdoor tracks it has lost some of the status after indoor tracks took over towards the end of the 1980s, but it is still a popular place to go for pre-season races for several countries and teams.
Since 1966, Inzell has been the host of the "Goldener Schlittschuh von Inzell" (Golden Skate), a major international allround competition held annually. Since the introduction of the World Cup, this event was often combined with World Cup, and as a result, could not be held every year. Furthermore, Inzell is also one of the tracks participating in the annual Dreibahnen-Tournee (Three-Track-Tour).
In the 1960s Inzell was the center of speed skating in former West Germany, and DEC Frillensee has brought forward skaters like Günter Traub, Gerhard Zimmermann, and Olympic Champions Erhard Keller and Monika Pflug. Current stars include Anni and Jan Friesinger.
