The Gotha Go 150 was a light aircraft designed at the German company Gothaer Waggonfabrik in the late 1930s.
In January 1937 Major Werner Junck, chief of the LC II, the technical wing of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium responsible for the development of new aircraft, informed various minor aircraft manufacturers such as Gothaer Waggonfabrik, Bücker, Fieseler, Flugzeugwerke Halle and Klemm that they would not get any contracts for the development of military aircraft.
He therefore advised them to concentrate in the development of a Volksflugzeug or a small twin-engined plane.
As a result, Gothaer Waggonfabrik developed the Go 150, while the other companies produced the Kl 105, the Si 202, the Bü 180 and the Fi 253.
