Riedel Spur in the World’s Oldest Ski Museum

A very special honor has now befallen a development from the Peter Riedel house. An element of the Master-Track start-track has been on display since early September at the world’s most important ski museum at Holmenkollen in Oslo to admire.

The Holmenkollen Ski Museum was founded in 1923 and, with over 6,000 exhibits, is the oldest ski museum in the world. Only the most important and historically significant witnesses from over 4,000 years of ski history make it into the exhibition halls, which are located directly under the ski jump at Holmenkollen. For example, parts of Roald Amundsen’s original expedition equipment, the most successful seaman and polar explorer in the Arctic and Antarctic. Or the famous “Birkebeiner” painting, which shows two warriors on cross-country skis and is well known far beyond Norwegian borders. Right next to the painting, a Spur module from Peter Riedel Sportstechnology has hung since September. “A knighthood,” as Peter Riedel puts it.

“It is a special honor for me that one of our Spur modules is now hanging in the world’s oldest ski museum. During my last visit to Holmenkollen I happened to meet the museum director in the parking lot when she told me that our Spur module is now on display in the museum. A real goosebumps moment, because only the historically most valuable exhibits find their way into the museum, and we are right in the middle with our starting track. It is a confirmation for me that we have helped develop the ski jump sport a little further with the start-track and have now become part of the history of ski jumping development. It makes me incredibly proud and gives me a lot of energy for the next innovations,” says Peter Riedel.
