Lohnerwerke GmbH, Vienna, began in 1821 by building autos and fire trucks as Jacob Lohner & Co., but by 1910 they had branched into building Taubes and Pfeilflieger (arrow fliers), a design with strongly swept wings. Led by Dipl. Ing. Ludwig Lohner, the company assigned sales rights to Motoren-Luftfahrzeug-Gesellschaft mbH (MLG), led by entrepreneur Camillo Castiglioni, who redirected Austro-Hungarian builds into his subsidiaries of Hansa-Brandenburg and UFAG.[1]
The bulk of Lohner's army contributions were of the Pfeilflieger type, though they also built several seaplanes and Knoller and Aviatik licensed types.[2]
Production aircraft from the Great War or shortly thereafter include:
