The Vampyr is the father of all later sailplanes, at the time indicating the direction that sailplane aerodynamics and construction would go. On 05-Sep-1921 new world records were set at Wasserkuppe for duration with 15min 40 sec and distance with 7.5 km. In 1922 some improvements were made to it and on 18-Aug-1922 in the Rhön contest it became the first glider that stayed in the air for more than an hour. More world records were broken with it and the final one was on 19-Aug-1922 with an enduration record of 3h 06min and a height gain of 350m. This replica was built by OSC Wasserkuppe

The original registration of this glider is not known, but it was built in 1938. After the war it was captured by British forces and it became RAFGGA521 with the Royal Air Force Germany Gliding Association. In Apr-1972 it became BGA1711. In 1974 it went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe. There it was painted as D-12-354. In the circle on the fin should be a swastika, but in Germany it is legally not allowed to show that

The original registration of this glider is not known, but it was built in 1938. After the war it was captured by British forces and it became RAFGGA521 with the Royal Air Force Germany Gliding Association. In Apr-1972 it became BGA1711. In 1974 it went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe. There it was painted as D-12-354. In the circle on the fin should be a swastika, but in Germany it is legally not allowed to show that

D-4686 was built by Walter Schneider, first flight 19-Apr-1964. In 2004 it was handed over to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe. This was the second of the two D-36s built and differed from V-1 by having a parachute brake instead of spoilers. The D-36 was one of the first glassfiber sailplanes. V-1 won the German National Championships in 1964 and became second in the World Championships in 1965

D-1398 served for more than 20 years as a research aircraft at the DLR - Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt. It was equipped with sensors and instruments in the wings and fuselage to do measurements in the lower atmosphere. Later it went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum as seen here. The Kranich III was designed by Hans Jacobs and made its first flight in 1952.
