The Kranich (Crane) is a two-seater high-performance glider developed by Hans Jacobs at the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS) (German Research Facility for Gliding). It flew for the first time in 1935 and performed so well that it was produced in large numbers right until the end of WWII. This Kranich was built in 1943 and donated to the Deutsches Museum - Flugwerft Schleissheim, where it is now on display.
