Wintersportverein Breitenwang in Reutte district was founded in 1929 and four years later the ski jumping hill on Lähn was constructed.
After World War II, the club was re-founded as Sportclub Breitenwang in 1948 and on new year's day 1949 a grand night competition was held. In the same year, the inrun of Lähnschanze was renewed and in the following year the judges tower. In 1954 a junior hill was built at Tizithang in Mühl.
In 1962 Raimund Ertl, an oustanding member of SC Breitenwang, was killed in an alpine accident and two years later Lähn-Schanze was reconstructed and named after him. Then, the first Austrian Championships at Breitenwang were held in 1965 - winner was Baldur Preiml.
In 1967 and 1969 the so-called Plansee-Cup was organized at Breitenwang as an international Nordic wintersports competition.
For the development of young ski jumpers the first junior hill at Hoffmannshöhe in Sintenbichl was built in 1972-73.
For the ÖM in 1986 (winner Andi Felder), Raimund-Ertl-Schanze was enlarged into a K75 normal hill in 1984-85.
With this event Breitenwang qualified for bigger events and in 1989 the first NC-World Cup was organized and attended by thousands of spectators. The highlight of the wintersports history of Breitenwang were the Nordic Junior WSC in 1994, for which the ski jump was modernized again and enlarged into a K85 hill in 1993. Despite of spring-like temperatures and storms, the event was very successful and set a benchmark.
However, after that a Nordic Combined World Cup in January 2000 was the last major international competition on Raimund-Ertl-Schanze. Ski jumping activities in Breitenwang died down during 2000s and in 2014 the normal hill on Lähn was dismantled.
