History
The Hermann Oberth (1894-1989) Memorial Museum was opened in his former villa on the 100th anniversary of the physicist's birth in 1994. In front of the house, a bronze statue of a rocket was erected. Oberth was a pioneer of rocket science. Between 1941 and 1943 he worked at the Peenemünde base, where he helped develop the V-2 rocket. From 1954 he worked in the United States, working alongside his former student von Braun. He is credited with the Oberth effect, the idea of rockets and spacecraft operating with higher efficiency at higher speeds. This is why they are launched at an acceleration that humans can tolerate in order to save fuel.
