Number 1650 was the sole example of a unique seaplane design produced for the flying service of the Imperial German Navy during the First World War.[1][2][3] From 1916 onwards, the Kaiserliche Werften produced a range of training seaplanes for the Navy, in order to free the nation's major seaplane manufacturers to produce front-line types.[1] During the closing stages of the war, however, the Kaiserliche Werft Danzig and Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven produced a small number of front-line types as well, including this machine.[1] Number 1650 was an armed reconnaissance seaplane equipped with radio equipment capable of transmission and reception, therefore gaining the naval CHFT classification.[1][3]
