Edmund Schneider

He was able to study the design of fighter aircraft such as the Pfalz Albatros Flugzeugwerke, LFG, Fokker and Junkers.

He met Gottlob Espenlaub and helped him with the completion of gliders he designed with Alexander Lippischa for the Rhön competition in the summer of 1923.

In autumn 1923 he went together with Espenlaub at the invitation of a local group of the German Flying club to Grunau near Hirschberg Silesia (now Poland).

Due to the increasing demand from the National Socialist Flyers Corps, Schneider employed more than 350 people in two plants when war broke out in 1939.

At the end of World War II, Schneider left his business and fled with his family to Mühlhofen on Lake Constance.
