Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen

From PlaneSpottingWorld, for aviation fans everywhere

Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen GmbH was a German aircraft manufacturing company. It was founded in 1912 by Theodor Kober in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The town, which was located by the Bodensee, was already famous in aviation circles as the place where Zeppelin airships were built. During the First World War, Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen mainly built seaplanes for the German Navy and large bombers for the Imperial Air Service.

After the Armistice, the company took over the old Zeppelin shed at Manzell. They would also start production in Weingarten and Warnemünde. When the company failed in 1923, their production facilities were taken over by Dornier Flugzeugwerke.
