Wattens in Tyrol is the headquarters of the well-known crystal company Swarovski. The local ski club was founded in 1929 and built the ski jump in Stoager Ried in 1931, which was opened on January 6th, 1932. In the fall of 1932, an even larger ski jumping hill was added on the property of the patron of the Stoager, Franz Eberharter, which was supposed to allow jumps of around 50 meters. In 1,600 hours of voluntary work, the helpers moved around 650 to 700 cubic meters of earth to form the inrun and landing slope. Toni Schwemberger won the opening competition on January 29, 1933 with a hill record of 46.5 meters.
Ski jumping was very popular in Wattens at the time - 2,000 spectators even came to attend the competition on the small 20-meter hill as part of the Tyrolean Youth Ski Day in 1935.
After World War II, the Stoagerriedschanzen were modernized by WSV Wattens in 1952/53 and the large one was upgraded to a K50. Presumably, the hill was only in continued use for a short period of time and was already abandoned until the 1960s.
