HISTORY The ski jumping is practiced in this area of ​​Bavaria located right on the border with Austria since 1909, but only in 1925 was built the first artificial diving at the feet of the "Mountain Ombrosa", precisely the Schattenberg, from which the building is named.
The structure was torn down during the Second World War only to be rebuilt after the war, in 1946.
The facility, renovated several times over the decades, has stood up to the beginning of the twenty-first century, when it was decided to demolish it to make way for a new and more modern trampoline in view of the World Championships of 2005.
The current Schattenbergschanze (K125 / HS137) was then built in 2003 and since then has not changed. Today is part of a complex, the Erdinger Arena, which includes five trampolines total (HS137, HS106, HS60, HS30, HS20).
