- Abstract
The rediscovered estate of Karl Poggensee allows to reproduce chronologically his rocket tests of the period 1930-1934 almost completely for the first time. Thrilled by the movie "The Woman in the Moon" for the idea of space travel, he started as a student of Hinderburg-Polytechnikum, Oldenburg, to built his first solid-fuel rocket, producing his own propellant charges. Being a coming electrical engineer his main goal were not set up new record heights, but to provide his rockets with automatic measuring instruments, camera and parachute release systems. The optimization of this sequence was his main focus.
