The Grunau Baby III was a further development of the Grunau Baby IIb with a slightly longer wing and fuselage and the addition of a wheel. Schleicher built a series of 21 from 1951 to 1955 and also Meschenmoser built a series. But many more were amateur built by gliding clubs. D-4303 was built by Schleicher in 1951 and later handed over to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe.

D-5069 was built and delivered in Oct-1952. After it was damaged in 1990 it went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe.

The ES-49 was designed by Edmund Schneider who gave a license to Schleicher to build the prototypes and series production. Only 8 were built because the gliding clubs preferred steel tube trainers instead of the wooden construction of the ES-49. After Schneider moved to Australia plans of the aircraft were sold as the ES-49 Wallaby and a few were built. A redesigned development was the ES-49B Kangaroo.
