Lohner

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.

The bulk of Lohner's army contributions were of the Pfeilflieger type, though they also built several seaplanes and Knoller and Aviatik licensed types.

Production aircraft from the Great War or shortly thereafter include:
