Photo Comment

A partial replica (constructed with sections from the real aircraft) of the plane used by Friedrick Karl Baron von Koenig-Warthausen for his solo flight around the world, departing from Germany in August 1929 and returning in November 1930. The aircraft was powered by a 20 hp Mercedes-Benz F 7502 engine, which explains its presence in this museum. A full replica of the same aircraft exists in the Meilenwerk Motor Museum in nearby Böblingen.
