  • About us :

    Bücker Flugzeugbau was a German aircraft construction company that specialized in the development and construction of sport and training aircraft. Carl Clemens Bücker, a former naval aviator of the First World War, founded the company in 1933 in Berlin-Johannisthal, from where it was rebuilt in 1935 by Herbert Rimpl and Otto Meyer Ottens in a larger plant based on the ideas of the Bauhaus school in Rangsdorf near Berlin moved. After the end of the Second World War, the company ceased operations.Bücker founded Svenska Aero as early as 1921 in Lidingö (Sweden) with the purpose of manufacturing parts and aircraft for the Caspar works and Heinkel under license, as at the time according to the provisions of Versailles Treaty no military aircraft were allowed to be built in the German Empire of the Weimar Republic. He was later followed from Sweden by his chief designer Anders J. Anderson to Berlin. The collaboration with Anderson resulted in aircraft that made the name Bücker known all over the world and which were also built under license abroad on various occasions. Increasingly, but not from the beginning, the Air Force also appeared as a client. After the end of the war and the complete collapse of the company, the factory facilities were confiscated and used by the Soviet armed forces in Germany. Since the withdrawal of all military from Germany and thus also from Rangsdorf, the systems still in existence have fallen into disrepair.
