Scheibe Flugzeugbau was a manufacturer of sailplanes and motorgliders in Germany in the second half of the 20th century. Founded by
Egon Scheibe at the
Munich-Riem Airport to produce his
Bergfalke design in 1951,
[Gunston 1993, p.270] the company had produced over 2,000 aircraft by 1985.
[Taylor, J.W.R. (1985), p.740] After Egon Scheibe died in 1997, his sons-in-law took over the firm.
[Scheibe (ND)] By 2006, they were ready to relinquish control themselves due to their advanced age, but without a successor, the firm ceased operations.
Hartmut Sammet subsequently founded Scheibe Aircraft GmbH in
Heubach, taking over maintenance of existing Scheibe aircraft, and the manufacturing rights to the
Scheibe SF 25.
