German Eastern Marches Society (German: Deutscher Ostmarkenverein, also known in German as Verein zur Förderung des Deutschtums in den Ostmarken) was a German organisation founded in 1894 Posen, Prussia.
The organisation actively supported the policy of Germanisation through either assimilation of the resident Poles, expulsion of new Polish settlers and promoting settlement of ethnic Germans in the eastern regions of the German Empire. It was a proponent of the plan to make Prussia be dominated by Germans and the German language. After 1918 its activities were limited to the reduced territory of Germany after World War One, until it was finally disbanded in 1934.
The organisation was sometimes known acronymically as The Hakata (or H-K-T) Society after its founders Hansemann, Kennemann and Tiedemann. The nickname may have been influenced by the name Hecate.
