A very beautiful old town

Gravel forest trail. Nice jogging route or a welcome detour by bike

Well-preserved city gate and shortly behind it the story of an aviation pioneer continues.

surprising discoveries along the way

Gustav Weißkopf (Gustave Whitehead) succeeded in 1901 in the world's first powered flight.

The Gustav Weißkopf Monument - an obelisk with an airplane sculpture - a replica of his Flying Machine No. 21. In the publication of the local history association "Kleine Reise durch Leutershausen" you get, among other things, Information about Gustav Weißkopf and his Flying Machine No. 21. https://www.digiwalk.de/walks/stadtfuehrung-leutershausen/de

At this point a memorial was set in honor of the Leutershauser Gustav Weißkopf. Gustav Weißkopf succeeded in the first powered flight with the aircraft 21 on display - even before the Wright brothers. American history denies this and justifies this with the statements of the "Smithsonian Museum Washington D. C.". It should be noted, however, that the "Smithsionian" has made a secret deal with the Wright brothers, that the museum does not recognize any other aviation pioneer as a first flight, but they got the plane from the Wright brothers.

Gustav Weißkopf monument, one of the first flight pioneers in manned aviation.
