Hello,

Can someone tell me what type of aircraft the first German seaplanes were. All the usual details of how much and how many and from where would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hallo!

Perhpas the first floatplane in Germany was the one of Dr. August von Parseval. With financial support of the Motorluftschiff Studiengesellschaft he constructed at the borders of the "Plauen See" an experimental floatplane which made some flights...it finally during one of this flights ditched into the lake! This was about 1910-11...
With Google you can use the matches Plauensee (or Plauen See) + von Parseval which gives you a link to the touristic page of Plauwen ...
On this page is a reference to the shed and a picture of the plane!
Further there were constructed at Friedrichshafen (Bodensee or Lake of Constance) from 1913 on somewhere the first FF-planes...
