Ski jumping came to Bayrischzell in 1918, when the customs officer Hermann Hartmann of the Academic Ski Club of Munich was delegated there. Subsequently, in 1922 Skiclub Bayrischzell was founded and on October 28, 1924 Seebergschanze was inaugurated; in the next year also a junior hill followed. During 1920s and 30s, the 40-meter hill was very popular with its annual tournament. Bayrischzell even became a stronghold of ski jumping - in 1928 Gustl Müller, Hans Bauer and Fritz Pellkofer - together called the "Bayrischzell cloverleaf" - participated in the Olympic Winter Games! Especially Gustav Müller was very succesful as multiple-times German and Bavarian champion.
After World War II, Seebergschanze was modernized in 1946 and 1954 and even allowed jumps up to 65 meters. In 1983, the ski jumping facility was renovated as K50 and K20 hills, but already after a few years ski jumping activies completely died down. Nowdays, Bayrischzell is more famous for the alpine skiing resort at Sudelfeld.
