The Grabenjäger 1.b was a three seater, trench hunting aircraft initially developed as a Zeppelin interceptor designated as the Luftschiffjäger 1.a but fell short due it its weak engine and poor mobility that made it unsuitable for high speed interception. instead of scrapping the initial project; the Grabenjäger 1.b was reoutfitted from it's standard two seater formation to a three seater layout to introduce a bombardier position behind the pilot who would manually drop 13 lbs bombs over trenches as the aircraft flew overhead.

The Grabenjäger 1.b's lower front wing, front half of the fuselage and engine covering were restructured with 820 lbs of armor plating. Additional armor required a more powerful engine and with the newly implemented a sacrifice of the frontal gun had to be made; at roughly 2,025 lbs, the Grabenjäger 1.b one of the heaviest aircraft to fly on a single engine in the First Global War. The additional weight and size of the Grabenjäger 1.b made landing the aircraft exceptionally tricky and often caused damage to the propeller blades as inexperienced pilots to strike upon landing.
