Sauerstoffwerk Peenemünde

The Sauerstoffwerk spans 70 meters in length, 42 meters in width, and 20 meters in height, featuring a basilica-style architectural design with production halls.

The facility, constructed in 1939, produced liquid oxygen for V2 rockets, reaching a maximum output of 13,000 kilograms per day across three shifts by 1943.

The site represents the technological advancement of German industrial engineering during World War II, connecting to the broader narrative of wartime production facilities.

Current access to the building remains restricted due to structural instability, with protective fencing surrounding the perimeter to ensure visitor safety.

The interior equipment was relocated to Bützow in 1946, where it continued operations until 2000, while the main structure underwent partial demolition in 1948.
