"I assume the technique is similar for all German designed gliders."

Very bad assumption. Not even the same for all products from each mfg.
Could you please explain some of the different spar construction
methods used by the different German manufacturers? Which ones use a
spar which is constructed outside of the wing assembly process?

To which I say:

Slingsby, I think you kind of slipped a groove back there. You started
off by talking about "German designed gliders," but after Dave
responded you changed the topic to German manufactured gliders.

Design and manufacture are two different things.

A survey of the Akaflieg Web pages might show a couple of examples of
German designs with the characteristics you are talking about. What
then?
