The Bavarian Ski Association (BSV) is a sports association based in Munich . It was founded on July 20, 1914 in Munich. With around 260,000 members in over 1,200 clubs, the BSV is the largest and most successful regional association within the German Ski Association (DSV) and the fourth largest sports association in Bavaria. The BSV is a registered, non-profit association with its office in Munich. The associations of the association are divided into eleven regional associations within Bavaria. The association is also responsible for cross-country skiing , ski cross , Nordic combined , snowboarding , ski jumping , biathlon , freestyle skiing and alpine skiing in Bavaria.

history

Skiing has been gaining popularity in Germany since the 1890s, especially in the foothills of the Alps as far as Munich. In the years 1890/91, for example, amateur skiers formed the Association of Unified Ski Beginners , which rose through a rapidly growing success and membership in the Munich Ski Club . At that time, skiing was not a popular sport and was only practiced by club members in the Schlierseer Mountains (near Munich). From 1890 onwards, skiing also spread to the rest of Bavaria, especially in the Allgäu, the Bavarian Forest (1892/1893) and in the northern Bavarian low mountain ranges and their catchment areas. Initially, individual and gradually “united skiers” also worked successfully. Nuremberg, for example, had already sent its sports trains to the Fichtelgebirge since 1908, to the Bavarian Forest in 1910 and to the Rhön in 1911.

In addition to the first racing activities, ski tourism became popular. Since the Schlierseer Mountains were perfect for learning the new sport, the ski area of ​​the Schlierseer Mountains began to be opened up in Munich in the 1890s, which later became the “Munich ski paradise”. The further chronological development:

  • In 1909/1910 the Alpine SC Munich began a historically remarkable advance to introduce guided ski courses in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Berchtesgaden and other places, which were repeated until 1913. But the hoped-for success was initially denied.
  • The first winter sports event was held in 1911. The Munich ski relay race. This institution was later used by the German Ski Association (DSV) as a German championship, which was later recognized as a championship by the Féderation International de Ski . Over time, the season became the main Munich event in winter and gained audience interest.
  • In 1912, the Munich application to form a ski tourism committee was accepted by the German Ski Association and staffed for the first time with Bavarian experts.
  • In 1913 the German Ski Association (DSV) transferred the implementation of the second ski championships in 1914 in Bavaria to "the Bavarian State Association to be founded".
  • In 1914, the second ski championships were not held by the Bavarian Ski Association, which had yet to be founded, but by a special-purpose association of Bavarian clubs.
  • Finally, on July 20, 1914, the legal Bavarian Ski Association was founded in Munich after the above history, because by this time a quite large number of skiers (colloquially "Schwartlingrutschern") populated the white fields around Bavaria. Representatives of no less than 32 ski clubs or ski departments attended this inaugural meeting.
  • In 1922 the first age championships and 1923 youth championships were added.

After the beginning of the First World War , the Bavarian Ski Association (BSV) was hindered in its work, as war-related tasks were in the foreground. After the war, construction had to be restarted in 1918.
This created the basis for the activities of the Bavarian Ski Association (BSV).
