The Hermann Oberth society is an association named after Hermann Oberth, the German astronautics pioneer  , which develops and builds rockets and trains engineers in space technology. It was created in 1952 by Karl Poggensee in Bremen as the German Agency for Affairs of Space Travel (DAFRA), tasked to develop civilian rockets. Early on in Hespenbusch, near Großenkneten, various prototype rockets were developed, which soon reached heights of a few kilometers. The available area in Hespenbusch quickly became too small to continue to conduct rocket tests there. After the termination of rocket launches in the Cuxhaven area the Hermann Oberth society put its emphasis on the education of future space technology engineers. In 1993 the Hermann Oberth society and the Otto Lilienthal society united to form the German Society for Air and Space Technology, DGLR.
