Sometime before October 1915 company is renamed LFG Roland and factory established at Berlin-Charlottenberg to build Albatros B amd C type (seaplanes?). Some 270 LFG Roland C2, apparently an improved Albatros C, designed by Tantzen, October 1915, are built with 50 additional built by Linke-Hoffman. This was followed by additional C and D models. Prototypes built at Straslund include V19 observation floatplane able to fold into hangar on U-boat.
