Peenemünde, Military research facility in Usedom-Nord, Germany.
The municipality of Peenemünde extends across 25 square kilometers at the northern tip of Usedom island, where the Peene River joins the Baltic Sea.
The German army established a research center in Peenemünde during World War II, which became the primary location for developing and testing V-2 rockets.
The Historical Technical Museum, situated in a former power plant, presents exhibits about rocket development and contains original technical equipment from the 1940s.
Visitors can reach Peenemünde through regular ferry connections from Kröslin or by train services that connect to neighboring coastal resorts on Usedom island.
The municipality contains preserved concrete launch pads and bunkers from World War II, providing physical evidence of early rocket development programs.
