Judging by the emblem she belonged to the 7.(F)/LG2. However that's not the Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz but the Heinkel He 72B Kadett. The Fw 44 had flat top of the fuselage going from the front cockpit to the tail. Also the landing gear was different and had the oleos hidden in an external large fairing attached to the fuselage. Additionaly there weren't the struts between the fin and horizontal stabilizers. The cockpit doors didn't have the curved top edge but had the straight one. And the cockpit windscreens were more "square" but not bent into an arch and rounded like for the He 72. What is more, the front fuselage metal plate covering behind the engine has two vent slots there. The cover of the He 72 had one louvre only .

It is not the Fw 44. It is the Heinkel He 72 Kadett, trainer. See my post #43. The additional ID detail, the Pitot tube is back on the top of the bottom port wing between the wing struts and the fusealge. The Stieglitz had it at the bottom of the top port wing. Also the different landing gear and the the top wing shape.
