The Hannoverscher Verein fur Luftschiffahrt (HVL) or Hanover Association for Aerial Navigation was founded on 8 May 1909. It joined the DLV (German Aeronaut Federation : Deutscher Luftschiffer-Verband), which see, 21 May 1909. The original emphasis was on ballooning, but in 1910, a department of sport flying (Abtellung fur Flugsport) was established. An Ortsgruppe or local group was founded on 25 May 1909 in Minden, Germany, and that group, which see, separately joined the DLV in December 1909.
Initial officers included Dr. Julius Precht, chairman; Seligmann, vice chairman; and Dr. R Weil, secretary (Weil was also office director at the beginning of 1910); city director Tramm was honorary chairman. In 1910, the association had 324 members, including seven balloon guides. (It appears that this figure may be for Hanover only, but that is not clear.) Hannover owned one free balloon and used the Schutzenplatz in Hanover as its balloon place.
