Flugzeugbau Steinmann (sometimes historically referred to as Steinmann Flugzeugbau) was a German aviation company from the pioneering era of gliding; it played a significant role in the development of early training and practice aircraft during the 1920s.
Here are the key historical facts about the company:
Locations: Its facilities were situated in Hagen (Westphalia) and Winterberg in the Sauerland region.
Timeframe: The company was active primarily between 1923 and 1925.
Significance in aviation history: Flugzeugbau Steinmann produced designs by the renowned aerodynamicist and aviation pioneer Alexander Lippisch, among others. Lippisch developed successful training gliders and primary gliders for beginners there.
:A notable model from this production run was the training glider named "Baby" (designed in 1925).
(Note: There is no direct record in historical documents from the 1920s indicating that this specific operation was organized as a "GmbH" [limited liability company]; the business is known primarily as a workshop and manufacturing operation under the name "Flugzeugbau Steinmann".)
