Alexander Lippisch designed the Hols der Teufel in 1923, at the RRG (Rhön-Rossiten Gesellschaft), based at the Wasserkuppe.
Alexander Schleicher personally built one in 1925-26, with which he participated in the Rhön competition in 1926 and 1927 (he won the prize for the greatest number of flights that year, with a total of 69 flights for a time total of 3 hours 30 minutes 15 seconds). Then he produced the Holz der Teufel as part of his company Alexander Schleicher Flugzeugbau. In an advertising brochure of October 1931, the firm offered the glider for 740 Reichsmarks.
