The Caspar-Werke was a German aircraft manufacturer of the early 20th century. It was founded in 1911 by Karl Caspar under the name Zentrale für Aviatik in Fuhlsbüttel.^[1] In its early years, the firm built Etrich and Rumpler types under licence, and was dissolved following World War I.

In 1921, Caspar re-established the firm at Travemünde with Ernst Heinkel as chief designer. Heinkel left in May the following year after a dispute over rights to a design, and was replaced by Ernst Ritter von Lössl. Later, Hans Herrmann from the former Udet Flugzeugbau, was the designer. The company ceased operations in 1928.^[2]^[3]
