The site of the Flying School was selected on a gentle eastward slope about midway between the southern slope of the “ Wasserkuppe ” and the western slope of the “ Weltensegler,” a ridge running at right angles to the former, the slopes of which are most used for training glides. The hangar, 60m. by 12m., was built of timber, with a cantilever roof requiring few supports and with drop doors at each end. The pupils are boarded at the school for convenience and for better supervision and direction of their spare time activities. It was also necessary to provide workshops and offices, and quarters for the mechanics and instructors and for the head of the school. A single building, also 60m. by 12m., adjacent to the hangar contains living quarters below, and a workshop above; a long central passage leads to a hall, on the south side, off which are the quarters of the Director of Research and of the Head of the School, and the kitchen premises; on the north side a woodworking shop equipped with a combined plane and shaping machine, a combined circular saw milling and slotting machine, and a hand saw.
