History:

On February 2, 1893 the “Ski federation of Styria” hosted the first ski jumping competition in middle Europe, for which the hotelier Toni Schruf from Mürzzuschlag had invited North Pole Explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who was on a lecture journey in Vienna. The Norwegian J. Bismarck Samson who worked in Vienna in a bakery won the competition on a snowed manure hill with the record of 6 metres. At this time the development of ski jumping in central Europe was about 30 years in delay in comparison to the ski jumping culture in Norway.
In 1904 the antecessor ski jump of Ganzsteinschanze was constructed. This ski jumping facility was converted and the three hills K55, K28 and K18 covered with plastic mattings in 2004 for 130,000 €. Included to the Ganzstein ski jumping facility is also a very nice 6 km long panorama cross-country trail, which is taken for Nordic Combination, too. The ski jumping hill are used all year long, if weather allows, by ski jumpers of ESV and many guest ski clubs from Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and many more for trainings, national and international competitions.
In Mürzzuschlag is also a large winter sports museum which has been existing already since 1947 and shows on more than 1,000 m² up to 2000 year old exhibits.
