Today's climbing center was originally part of the Thalkirchen district sports facility. The climbing exercise facility was made available to the German Alpine Club in 1988, which in 1989 had Dyckerhoff & Widmann erect the first large artificial climbing facility on the site with a 1,600 m² reinforced concrete outdoor facility. The construction costs of DM 1,026,000 for the “Grubergebirg”, named after the planning manager Georg Gruber, were financed from grants from the City of Munich and the State Ministry for the Environment , from donations and from the own funds of the DAV sections, which specifically sponsored the “Kletteranlage Munich Thalkirchen e. V. “(KMT).

The plant was well received and, if the weather was suitable, soon reached its capacity limit. In order to expand the capacities and to be able to offer training possibilities in winter and in bad weather, the facility was first expanded in 1999 to include a climbing hall. In 2001 the outer walls of the new hall were also equipped with climbing plates and a floodlight system was added.

In 2011, the last extension to date followed with a second hall with additional outdoor and indoor climbing areas to a total of 1580 m² gross floor area.

A further planned expansion to include a third climbing hall on the site of today's climbing and bouldering outdoor facility to the north has been controversial since 2018.
