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
● 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
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.

Steam ferry museum - single-railway steam ferry
● Wolgast
Built in 1890, the steam ferry "Stralsund" offered space for up to three passenger carriages with around 300 passengers and was originally built for the Stralsund - Altefähr (Rügen) route. Today, the ferry is in its last place of operation as a museum ship in Wolgast harbor and can be visited. The single-railway steam ferry "Stralsund" from 1890 is the only surviving ship of its kind in Germany. Originally built for the ferry service between Stralsund and Altefähr on Rügen, it was used in Swinemünde from 1901 due to increased capacity requirements on this line. After the war, the ferry was used for the trajectory between the island of Usedom and the mainland in the port of Wolgast, as there was no longer a rail connection between the island of Usedom and the mainland between the blowing up of the Karnin railroad lift bridge in 1945 and the new track over the Wolgast Peene Bridge until 2000. It was last used in the 1990s to replace the old railcars with new vehicles from the Usedomer Bäderbahn. Visitors can view the engine room, the mess room and the bridge of the ferry moored in the museum harbor.
Rungehaus Museum
● Wolgast
The Rungehaus Museum is the birthplace of the painter and Romantic artist Philipp Otto Runge (1777–1810). Alongside Caspar David Friedrich, he is considered one of the most important painters and printmakers of the German Romantic period. While original works by the artist Philipp August Runge can be found at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, his life story is chronicled at his birthplace in Wolgast. In addition to painting, Runge made a decisive contribution to three-dimensional color theory, designed playing cards, and wrote down the first fairy tales in Germany. The best-known of these—“The Fisherman and His Wife”—was included in the Brothers Grimm’s collection. Route of North German Romanticism: Runge House in Wolgast – Runge’s Birthplace Philipp Otto Runge was born on July 23, 1777. Like Friedrich August von Klinkowström, he had ten siblings. Even in his early childhood, his teacher at the Wolgast school, the poet Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten, recognized and nurtured his artistic talent. After an apprenticeship in Hamburg, Runge decided in 1799 to study art in Copenhagen. After his return, he met Caspar David Friedrich and also moved to Dresden. Runge nevertheless spent several years in Wolgast, where, among other things, he developed his theory of three-dimensional color theory. One of his most famous works, “Wilhelmine Helwig,” is housed at the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald.
