The company Glasflügel was founded by Eugen Hänle in 1962. It was located in Schlattstall, south of Kirchheim unter Teck. The firm was the first to manufacture a glass-fibre sailplane in large numbers. It introduced innovations like quick assembly systems and trailing edge airbrake-flap combinations. Financial difficulties in the 1970s led to cooperation with Schempp-Hirth in May 1975. Eugen Hänle died in a flight accident on September 21 of that year. The company was dissolved in 1982 after ownership changes in 1979.
