International Geomysteries: Gateway to the World

This cache, "Gateway to the World," is part of the "Ge(o)mysteries of the Region Hannover" GeoTour.

Hannover Airport is the largest airport in the state of Lower Saxony. From here, you can set off to destinations all over the world—and, of course, return safely. This was made possible in no small part by the perseverance of the early aviation pioneers. This cache introduces you to one of the lesser-known figures among them. He conducted his experiments in and around Hannover and contributed to the development of aviation.
