Hans Wagener of Wagener Flugzeugbau, Hamburg produced his first powered aircraft, the HW.4 in 1933, used as test-bed for experimental two-stroke engine, which as Barry points out, was re-engined, prior to being sold, . The company advertised its gliders (HW.1 to HW.3 models)in the very first British Sailplane & Glider magazine (6 September 1930) price 3d, formerly of Piccadilly, London, and published at Ludgate Circus. A translation from the original German: which also failed to mention any dates is as follows: "The single-seater sports type of aircraft 4a HW Wagener, Hamburg Airport, is a strutted high-wing monoplane. Airfoil zweiholmig type, double T-beams, divided in the middle. Spars on rectangular strips of 5 x 8 mm with mutually glued edges of plywood. Spier distance 400 mm, on the upper side of the wing also between the tie bars to improve the conservation of the profile auxiliary spars. Nose to the front spar plywood, linen covered everything else. V in wooden handles have a strong vertical web, shaping plywood planking. Control surfaces are in wood, with fabric-covered surfaces, the damping is due each one striving Dural from the front and rear spar and braced for the underside of the fuselage. The rudder is actuated by direct control cables. That elevator has full control stick up to the last fuselage bulkhead mounted shift lever and cables from there to the elevator doors steel bumpers. The ailerons have direct control cables. Hull is of wood, formed in its basic structure quadrangular cross-section, by appropriate moldings to a dodecagon [shaping aft]. This is achieved that the same lines have a smooth and so the fabric cover behind the driver's seat in the upper fuselage is a spacious luggage compartment, but which also serves at the same time to destroy placement of the [pilot's] parachute. Before the firewall of the engine, mounts are made of steel tube and is placed removable. Fixed within the wing before the driver's seat is a tubular steel fuel tank. Filler cap is located in the nose of the wings. Chassis with continuous axle steel tube, the lateral pressures to take two mid-fuselage on current steel pipes. Coarser wheel 510 x 75 mm. Spur of ash in all rotate. The cell was built for Ausprobierung new two-stroke aircraft engines of 14 hp were flown and with 20 hp engines. It has arrow-shaped by their extraordinary stability of 10° moments, but not at all affect the other good characteristics. For the normal series production of the first new 30-hp type engines is provided. It can also readily accept other engines with approximately the same weight and power" Available specifications for the aircraft: With Festenberg-Pakisch 20 hp engine: span 9.00 m; length 5.70 m; height 1.20 m; weight 140 kg, with engine 40-60 kg; max speed 110 km/h; stalling speed 40 km/h.

Wagener built a number of light sportsplanes between the wars. The model depicted is in fact the HW 4a which was powered by a 20hp Festenberg-Pakisch engine which differed from the original HW.4 which was powered a Ursinus U2. The aircraft weighed approximately 400kg and had a maximum speed of 110 km/h. The span was 9.00m and the length 5.70m
