Zeppelin-Staaken

Zeppelin-Staaken (sometimes Zeppelin Werke Staaken), was a German aircraft manufacturer originally named Versuchsbau G.m.b.H. Gotha-Ost (Experimental Works Gotha-East (V.G.O.)) when it was formed in mid-1914 by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and Robert Bosch. The company rented facilities in Gotha with the objective to build large, long-range bomber aircraft. Alexander Baumann was hired by Zeppelin as the head designer. The company moved to the village of Staaken, near Berlin, in mid-1916 and was renamed Flugzeugwerft G.m.b.H., although it was commonly known as Zeppelin-Staaken.
