In September 1943, Alkett presented a counterproposal to Krupp's concept of a self-propelled howitzer. Alkett was partly owned by Rheinmetall-Borsig AG at the time. The company presented a proposal to mount an unmodified leFH18/40 howitzer on a chassis composed of Geschtüzwagen III/IV. The howitzer was to be mounted in a swivel turret after removing the wheels and turrets. The design also provided for quick dismantling of the howitzer by means of a hand crane and converting the gun back to a towed howitzer. The choice of gun was a great advantage over the competing design. A mass-produced gun that needed no reworking and the leFH18/40 howitzer could be delivered almost immediately and in any quantity without any delays.


The gun's range was to be 360° due to the fully rotatable turret open from the top, aiming -5° to +42°. The project provided for a Z.E.34 and Rblf. 36 sight. 85 rounds of 105 mm calibre ammunition were to be carried inside the vehicle. The MP 40 submachine gun of 9 mm calibre was to be used for personal protection.


In March 1944, the prototype was presented at the Hillersieben polygon. Two months later, after a deficiency had been corrected and certain modifications introduced, the prototype was tested again. After the tests, it was decided to mass produce it. The first 25 guns were expected to be delivered in October. Of course, the guns were not delivered by that date, but only in December 1944.


To speed up production, it was finally decided that the guns would be mounted on unmodified Geschutzwagen III/IV chassis. Unfortunately, the turret dimensions were changed for this solution (it is not known whether this type of self-propelled howitzer was produced).
The locomotion gear consisted of four bogies with two rubberized running wheels each. Four carrier pulleys with a tension wheel at the rear and a drive wheel at the front. Belt width 400 mm.
