The Automobil und Aviatik AG of Leipzig-Heiterblick built under license the Halberstadt D.II, which was known as the Aviatik D.I and, later as Halberstadt D.II(Av). That was before 1916 when Aviatik decided to design, develop and build their own fighter.
It was powered by the 160hp Daimler D.III engine and was armed with two synchronised 7,92mm LMG 08/15 machine guns.
Fuselage consisted on a staggered single-bay biplane with wooden fabric-covered wings and a forward steel tube and wood aft fuselage which was largely ply-covered.
It didn't receive the favour from the idflieg as a result of the Typen-Prüfung and further development was discontinued.
