The Pelzner Hang Glider was a simple, lightweight, low cost but strong hang glider built in Germany in 1920, intended to make flying accessible to large numbers of young people.

Variants competed with some success in the first two Rhön contests held on the Wasserkuppe.

Willy Pelzner's gliders were designed to be simple and cheap to build and maintain, in order to encourage young people to engage in aviation.

[2] They were very light, unequal span biplane hang gliders with a strong wire and cane braced lightweight structure, covered in oiled paper.

Fixed tail surfaces at the rear provided stability but control relied on adjustment of the centre of gravity by movement of the pilot's body.
