A product of Gustav Schulze Flugzeug-Werke in Burg bei Magdeburg, who built several types and ran a big and successful flying school. The 50 hp Anzani powered machine was built in 1912 and was still used by the “Ortsgruppe Dresden des Deutschen Luftsportverband” in 1920, who called it a “Schulze-Taube”.

This high-wing monoplane was tested in late spring and summer of 1909 at the parade ground in Chemnitz, Saxony, after a public exhibition in April 1909. Schüler had completed his engineering studies there. It was probably inspired by the Demoiselle and was completed before Hans Grade had built his first similar “Libelle” in June 1909. The machine was not a great success and thus Schüler didn’t appear at the first German aeronautical exhibition (ILA) in Frankfurt or the first meeting at Johannisthal in September/October 1909, but he was among the first who rented a shed at this newly built airfield. At the beginning of 1910 Schüler was busy working on a monoplane for Leo Lendner and building engines for Hanuschke and others in his “Max Schüler Aeroplan-Fabrik”, which he had founded in his hometown Berlin in late 1909.

One of Max Schüler’s last machines, built in Germany in 1911 or 1912, probably the last one with a wooden fuselage. It had a 50 hp Escher engine placed deep in the fuselage and driving via a chain a slowly running tractor propeller at the level of the wing, and a radiator mounted in front of the engine.
