The Otto-Doppeldecker (Otto-biplane) was designed by the Munich-based company Flugmaschinenwerke Gustav Otto. It was the first aircraft flown by the Royal Bavarian Flying Corps, which was formed in 1912. From 1912 until 1914, 63 Otto biplanes were stationed at Schleissheim. Not a single one remains in existence. In view of the significance of this aircraft to the history of the Schleissheim airfield, the Werftverein, a volunteer group, is building a replica in cooperation with the Deutsches Museum.
