Karl von Friedlant

Karl of Friedlant (Karl von Friedland) is a true founder of our sport. June 14, 1807 brought us the ingenious Karl who, using just wind and an old linen blanket that once belonged to a farmer, arrived directly from the Battle of Friedland and landed on the premises of today's factory. That linen blanket was the forerunner of today's highly advanced glider fabric.
