Versuchbau GmbH Gotha-Ost (VGO)

Versuchbau GmbH Gotha-Ost (VGO), roughly translated as "Experimental Works, Gotha-East", was a company created and financed by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and the Robert Bosche Werke to build large bomber aircraft during World War I^[1].

In 1916, Zeppelin established a subsidiary of VGO in Staaken, near Berlin. In August, 1916, the VGO works were transferred to Staaken and the company was renamed Flugzeugwerft GmbH, although it was often referred to as Zeppelin-Staaken^[1].
