Looking at this beauty of picture, it appears that a rotary engine is fitted, which is rare for a Taube-like machine. The wing tips are really "Über-Taube" like, rather extreme. The rudder is somewhat un-Taube like, more an all flying tail like fitted on some Blériot types.

When I consult lists of the Schweizerische Fliegertruppe there is no machine mentioned which comes close to this one. I could not imagine that the machine was flying in a civil capacity in Switserland till 1915 ?
