Imperial German Navy seaplanes 461 and 462 were the only two examples of a seaplane design produced for the Navy's flying service during the First World War. Number 461 was built in October 1916 and Number 462 in September 1917 as the German seaplane bases searched for purpose-built training aircraft to supplement their collection of retired combat types. This particular design one of several developed by the Kaiserliche Werften was a conventional two-bay biplane with wings of unequal span.

Made by Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven.
