No idea on the plane, but Dat Plywood.

I don't know either, was hoping for a correct answer from the audience.

Did a search for "wooden low-wing monoplane" and came up with these:

I think the plane's father should be the one to name it but fine, Doris Rupert the II.

Which one do you think it is?

I believe that would be a Klemm L20.

The Ryan and the Miles have a little razorback aft of the cockpit so probably not them. If I had to guess I'd say the de Havilland.

Apparently, the pilot is Richard Perlia (German wiki page, translated).
The stuntman appears to be Fritz Schindler . One site identifies the plane as a "Klemp plane." No idea. I think it's pretty clear from the picture below that both were staged on the ground.

Nice find. Looks like smallbear's guess is correct. Seems to be a Klem L20 made by Daimler Motors.

Well, it looks like none of the above. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_L…

You think? Look at the position of the cockpits relative to the wing in this shot versus the one you have up there.

Interesting. I've been doing some more digging on Schindler, and I really wish my German were better. I found this site with some history of Tempelhof, and Schindler figures prominently in it. It describes a stunt where he was plucked out of a moving car, an Austro-Daimler, which was, interestingly, driven by a man named Hans Stuck. I don't imagine that is a coincidence. This has the makings of a very interesting article, if you can handle the German.
This looks like a PDF of the Schindler portion of the above site, but it also includes references. I wish I had more time to research this, but I'm leaving town soon and I've spent too much time on this already!
Cheers.

I agree, doesn't look quite right, but in this article, it seems pretty clear that it must be an L20. http://flughafenbb.wordpress.com/die-tragik-von…

Hand-made aircraft. They're like snowflakes.
