 Termination of rocket experiments at Cuxhaven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The termination of rocket experiments at Cuxhaven performed by the "Seliger Forschungs- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH" and the "Hermann-Oberth-Gesellschaft mbH" and some other experimentators in June 1964 was officially caused by a fatal accident at a show of mail rockets of Gerhard Zucker on May 7, 1964 on the Hasselkopf moutain near Braunlage.
The believed reason for the termination of rocket experiments at Cuxhaven might be the flight demonstration of militarily usable rockets of the Seliger Forschungs - und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH to military staff from non-NATO countries, on December 5, 1963.
The arguments with which the rocket experiments in the area at Cuxhaven were banned in June 1964 showed some inconsistencies; although the accident at Braunlage was a typical accident with explosives on the ground, air traffic law rather than not the law for handling explosives was applied to explain the ban.
