In 1924, a first smaller ski jumping hill was built at Maistatt district of Schladming, behind the local brewery. However, in order to be able to organize competitions in the then usual combination of downhill, cross-country and ski jumping, a larger ski jumping hill was necessary. Thus, Theodor Karl Holl, a ski pioneer from Enns valley, initiated the construction of a 50-meter hill at the slopes of Planai in 1930. The construction was even supported by the armed forces. WSV Schladming was able to inaugurate the ski jump, which was named after Holl, with the "tri-state" championships in 1931.
Already in 1932 the ski jump was extended and subsequently the annual Stephani and Dachstein Cup competitions were held there. After a further conversion for the Styrian championships in 1937, even jumps of more than 60 meters should have been possible. The last Dachstein cup ski jumping competition was held in 1964, then Holl-Schanze was deconstructed to make space for an alpine lift. Since 1972 the cable car has been running from there up to 1906 m high Planai and the slope is site of the famous Schladming night races.
