DMG acquires from the town authorities in Sindelfingen approximately 38 hectares of land near the Böblingen military airfield, with the aim of constructing an aircraft factory. By 2 October the site has been extended by a further 13 hectares in order to allow for the addition of a bodywork production facility. The aircraft factory is given priority and planning begins immediately, with the groundbreaking ceremony taking place in early 1916. Over the course of the year, DMG goes on to purchase additional land in Untertürkheim and Marienfelde to expand the two plants.
