history
The company was founded in 1948 by Hans Eichelsdörfer. Eichelsdörfer was a former employee of the Bamberg designer and aircraft manufacturer Willy Messerschmitt . Pleasure boats and furniture were made in the craft business and metalwork was carried out in the locksmith's shop. After the re-approval of gliding in 1951, two SG 38 school gliders and a Grunau Baby III were built. Then two Mü 13 E Bergfalke I were produced. Various types of discs were produced under license between 1952 and 1959 . A Piel CP-301 Emeraude motorized aircraft was also built near Eichelsdörfer. Then the series production of approx. 100 K 8b began under license from Schleicher and the production of 40 SB 5s from Akaflieg Braunschweig, half of which were delivered as a kit.
