Its name comes from the mythical Rheintöchter (Rhinemaidens) of Richard Wagner's opera series Der Ring des Nibelungen. History Rheintochter was ordered in November 1942 by the German army. Starting in August 1943, 82 test firings were made. An air-launched version was also designed. The project was cancelled in February 6, 1945. An example of the missile is on display at the Deutsches Technikmuseum at Berlin. Variants The initial R1 variant was powered by 2 stages solid-fuel rockets. Because this variant lacked the ability to reach high altitudes, the R3 model was developed, which had a liquid fuel engine with solid-fuel boosters.
