...these green little men was hinted at in the lego catalogue as next years new, but sadly I had already decided to sell all my Castle Lego at the flea market...
...and did so, sold them, but whit a sad heart I would sneak in to the toyshops to study the new Robin hood inspired sets...

The Klemm L 25 is a two-seater sports aircraft of wooden construction.
From 1927 to 1939, about 600 Klemm 25 were built. This made it the most successful and widespread German sports aircraft. In the early 1930s, it was also stationed at Schleißheim airfield.
Characteristic of the "light aircraft" is its design as a low-wing cantilever aircraft with a low wing loading and a relatively weak engine. This led to a favourable purchase price and in addition, low operating costs.
The Klemm L 25 was built in five versions (a-e). Engines from various manufacturers achieving a power output of 30 and 70 kW were used for propulsion. The exhibited aircraft is equipped with the BMW X engine, which was produced in a small number of units (about 30).

The monoplane fragment by the Vollmoeller brothers is part of one of the oldest motorised german planes.
Karl Vollmoeller (1878-1948) designed the aircraft, and his brother Hans (1889-1917) flew it. The first flight for 300 meters, six meters above the ground took place in April of 1910 near Stuttgart. An accident on April 14, 1910 which killed a spectator ended the brothers’ aircraft construction. Karl Vollmoeller was an archaeologist, author, automobile and airplane designer and enthusiast. He built two gliders and two powered aircraft. On exhibit here is his last airplane. Hans Vollmoeller taught himself to fly as he tested the aircraft. He made a name for himself prior to World War I as a successful competitive pilot of the “Rumpler Taube”. He was killed in a crash in 1917.

Under the direction of Professor Hermann Winter, students at the Braunschweig technical college designed and built the "Zaunkönig" as part of their studies. The objective of the design was a low minimum speed. Using a high-lift profile combined with a fixed slat and slotted landing flaps, a minimum flight speed of only 47 km/h was achieved. Only four Zaunkönig were ever built. The first experimental aircraft went to flight trials in 1941, but crashed in 1942. The second experimental model built in 1943 is displayed here. Two additional aircraft were produced in the fifties.
