HTM Peenemünde Historical and Technical Museum

HTM Peenemünde Historical and Technical Museum

Peenemünde

In 1942, the Peenemünde Army Research Center successfully launched the world’s first rocket into space. Today, the Historical-Technical Museum documents one of the most spectacular—yet also one of the most dangerous—technical breakthroughs of the 20th century. Between 1936 and 1945, the Peenemünde Army Research Center was one of the most modern technology centers in the world. In October 1942, the world’s first rocket launch into space took place from here. From the very beginning, however, the research served only one purpose: to use advanced technology to achieve military superiority. It was only through the massive use of forced laborers, concentration camp inmates, and prisoners of war that the construction of the testing facilities and the subsequent mass production of the rocket—which Goebbels cynically called “Retaliation Weapon 2”—were possible in such a short time. Thousands of people lost their lives during production under inhumane conditions and during the bombardment of Belgian, English, and French cities with the “wonder weapon.” The ambivalence surrounding the use of cutting-edge technology is evident in Peenemünde as in hardly any other place. Together with the historical context, this forms the focus of the exhibition at the Peenemünde Historical-Technical Museum, which can be viewed in the power plant of the former Army Research Center—the largest technical monument in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Holy Cross Church in Kemnitz

Holy Cross Church in Kemnitz

Kemnitz

The Holy Cross Church in Kemnitz has a long history. In the Kemnitz rectory, right next to the church, there is a small exhibition dedicated to the painter Friedrich August von Klinkowström. The baptismal register contains the entry for the birth of the future painter, educator, and writer. The themed cycling route “Route of North German Romanticism,” which runs from Greifswald to Wolgast, leads, among other places, to the sites associated with this Romantic painter. The Kemnitz church was built around 1300. The Eldena Monastery sponsored the construction of the church, which was expanded several times over the following centuries but also suffered severe damage. The church acquired its current appearance in the mid-18th century. The Neo-Gothic church tower with its four small corner turrets was built in the 19th century. The church is a listed historic monument. Holy Cross churches are churches dedicated to or named after the Holy Cross on which Jesus died. There are three other churches with this name in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: in Rambin on Rügen, in Rostock, and in Waren.

Freest Local History Museum

Freest Local History Museum

Freest

The small museum houses a collection of a wide variety of everyday objects that were part of daily life in fishing and agriculture and were gathered by the town’s residents to create a lovingly arranged exhibition. The famous Freest fishing rugs are particularly worth seeing. The idea for the local history museum came decades ago from Erich Mundstock, a teacher and principal at the Freest school. He collected many everyday objects from times past. In 1962, Erich Mundstock established the local history museum at the Freest school, thereby giving his collection a permanent home. Upon his death in 1987, the original local history museum was closed. After the political transition in the GDR, the former customs house—which had been used as an NVA base for decades—was handed over to the municipality of Kröslin. In 1992, the Freester Heimatstube was reopened in the building’s rooms. Today, it comprises seven rooms for permanent exhibitions as well as spaces for temporary exhibitions and lectures. Visitors to the local history museum can take a journey back in time to an old-fashioned living room and kitchen, as well as a bedroom and a schoolroom. All of the items—including dolls and doll carriages, a sewing room, and a hairdressing salon—were donated by people from the region. The most famous exhibits in the local history museum, however, are the Freest fishermen’s rugs. Crafted by residents of the community, each rug tells its own story.

Menzlin is a prehistoric maritime trading center of the Vikings, who left graves in Menzlin. These can be discovered during the guided tour of the former Viking trading site. A 3.5-kilometre-long nature trail also starts at the canoe station, along which there are three five-metre-high observation towers. From there, guests can enjoy an impressive view of the renaturation areas next to the Peene. The former pasture and meadow areas have been flooded so that the former moorland can develop again.
