Rolladen-Schneider was a major glider manufacturer.
The company originally made rolling doors and shutters and was run by Willi and Walter Schneider based in Egelsbach near Frankfurt, Germany.
Walter was a keen glider pilot and recruited a sailplane designer Wolf Lemke.
In 2003 DG Flugzeugbau GmbH took over the assets of the company including the LS brand name and designs.
The LS4, LS6 and LS11 are currently scheduled for production in Slovenia by AMS Flight.
