Hi guys.

Someone in the FB group Gamle København (Old Copenhagen) posted this photo, and we'd love to find out what kind of planes this is:
Make, model, etc, if possible.
According to the poster, the photo is from 1930, and the text on the photo says:
Copenhagen. Planes above the city.
Anyone, please help? *flutters eyelashes at the guys*

Those sure look like the old Hansa-Brandenburg W.33 of Imperial German WWI vintage

I thought about that for a little bit and double-checked and it seems that I was close, Maria!!
Those are the W.29 (well, "technically" but not actually)

Here's some info:

Royal Danish Navy purchased one W.29 from Germany in 1919, building a further 15 powered by the 150 hp Benz or 160 hp (120 kW) Orlogsværftet O-V six-cylinder inline engine under license at the Orlogsværftet (Danish Royal Naval Dockyard) as the HM.1 from 1921 to 1927, the type remaining in service until 1930, being replaced by the Heinkel HE 8
