This machine does not look "Taube-like" to me so the Gotha LE models are excluded. Characteristic is the use of the radiator in this Eindecker which got some ideas from the Blériot monoplane. As Aquilius remarked the undercarriage is very sturdy and could take quite a bump. The tail skid has been made extra strong as it is made double.

I am afraid I will have to search through the whole of Lange, Supf etc. to identify this rare one. Dating will be about 1912, because of the still not fully closed fuselage.
