 Obermann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cases were Obermann would have been awarded, it was typically to maintain an SS-member’s Waffen-SS and Allgemeine-SS ranks at equal levels, since the two branches of the SS were considered separate services.
Promotion to Obermann was typically granted after six months to one year of service in the Allgemeine-SS.
The rank ceased to exist in 1945, but has seen resurgence in the modern German language to indicate a senior member of an organization, such as a union foreman.

 C. Esco Obermann (1904-1999) Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, The University of Iowa
That idea was formalized as University House in 1978 and then, nurtured by generous funding from Esco and Avalon Obermann and from the Vice President for Research, grew into the University of Iowa Center for Advanced Studies in 1990.
Esco was able to see his dream realized in the creation of the Obermann Center and then, just recently, in the Provost’s identifying interdisciplinary research as a major University strategic goal.
Esco loved to recount the tale of how The University of Iowa expanded the universe of this farm kid from Pleasant Grove, Iowa (Esco once joked that, when he went to high school, he was not sure he could compete successfully with the urban sophisticates from nearby Mediapolis).
