The Zögling (English: pupil) is a German high-wing, cable-braced, single seat primary glider that was designed by Alexander Lippisch in 1926 and produced with many variations by a variety of manufacturers.
The Zögling was designed to be a training glider for basic flight training. The usual launch method was by bungee cord from a sloped hill. Because training was conducted solely by solo flight the aircraft had to be very easy to fly and also easy to repair.
The high-wing design uses a kingpost and cable bracing. The primary structure of the glider is of wood, with the wings, tail surfaces and inverted "V" kingpost all finished in doped aircraft fabric covering. The pilot sits on a simple seat in the open air, without a windshield.

General characteristics
Sleeping in sheets has never felt this way
Naked ghosts in front of me, feels like lying awake (Lying awake)
They let me see another awful game
but I'm the kid that never played, never played
The more you try to pull me down, the more I know I'm getting strong
So shut up don't lie, this time it's you and I (I know you're wrong)
So shut up don't try, to be on my own side (I know you're wrong)
This local scene has took the best of me
but we're not the ones who are gonna fall (we-'re-not-gonna-fall)
face the fact no one is missing you
just realize this song is something you deserve
The more you try to pull me down, the more I know I'm getting strong
So shut up don't lie, this time it's you and I (I know you're wrong)
So shut up don't try, to be on my own side (I know you're wrong)
Your show it's over now

red nose up for you my dirty clown
not matter what you say
we know you'll never change
as we let go (every time)
then you should know
So shut up don't lie, this time it's you and I (I know you're wrong)
