== History ==
Hinterzarten was founded in 1148. In the beginning, Hinterzarten was actually called "Hinter der Straß" (behind the street), and [[Breitnau]] to the north was "Vor der Straß" (in front of the street). Between 1708 and 1750 the village's name changed to Hinterzarten, partially due a small river in the area called Zartenbach. By 1755 the first postal road to Hinterzarten was built through the [[Höllental (Black Forest)|Höllental]], and in 1887 a railway stretch for tourists was opened.

In 1923, after the foundation of the Ski Club Hinterzarten, the Kirchwaldschanze ski jump was built (jumping was discontinued in 1974); and in 1924 the [[Adler Ski Stadium|Adlerschanze]] ski-jump was built. The Adlerschanze still stands today after being renovated and rebuilt multiple times.

In 1964 Hinterzarten officially became a "climatic healing resort" (German: ''Heilklimatischer Kurort'').

== Sports ==
Besides the 4-hill ski jumping complex, Hinterzarten also has three [[ski lift]]s, a [[tennis]] center, a [[cross-country skiing]] center, a soccer club, and has been a member of the Black Forest [[Nordic walking]] club since 2003.

The [http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_Forest_Ultra_Bike_Marathon&oldid=18031142 Black Forest Ultra Bike Marathon (German)] starts in Hinterzarten.

About 20,000 people attend the contest.

The Black Forest Ski Museum covers the beginning of skiing and the early techniques and equipment used on the nearby [[Feldberg (Black Forest)|Feldberg]]. There is also a museum of ancient agricultural engineering, with old farm equipment and machines; the museum is located in a 400-year-old farmhouse.
