Built during WW I and used as a trainer, designation B. IIa. First equipment for the Sportflug GmbH and later Deutsche Luftfahrt GmbH for training old and new pilots during the twenties. One was used by the DVL at Adlershof.
According to "Stützer" (Die Deutschen Militärflugzeuge 1919 - 1934) 31 aircraft was registered after WW  I

Designed by Ernst Heinkel as the development of an excellent 1913 construction, the Albatros B.II was a two-seat,
training and reconnaissance biplane of wooden construction. It was a large biplane, powered with a liquid cooled inline
engine anda propeller in tractor configuration. The plane defined the German construction line, quickly adopted in
the aeronautical world. These aircraft, known also as "tractors", were characterised by stability and solid construction.
After Heinkel had left the Albatros Works, an observation B.II version was produced there in 1914. Apart from the home factory, the Albatros airframes were also built by the BFW (Bay), the LFG, and by the Refl Works in Warsaw. In total, about 3000 Albatros B.II were built in the years 1914-1918.
The improved B.IIa version was built at the LFG Works from 1917, in a quantity of 600 aircraft. Some were built also at the Linke-Hoffmann Works in Breslau. After the end of the hostilities, about 20 aircraft designated the L-30 were assembled at the Berlin-Johannistahl Albatros Works for the civil aviation.
In Poland after regaining independence, some 100 (according to other sources, only 60) Albatroses B.II were utilised and used for military training. Considering the flight characteristics and the durability, they obtained excellent opinion among flyers. The last Albatros B.II was withdrawn from service with the Polish Air Force as late as 1927.
