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.

One of the best-preserved hospital complexes on the southern Baltic Sea coast. Along with the hospital in Lübeck, the Heilgeist Hospital is one of the best-preserved hospital complexes on the southern Baltic Sea coast. The oldest part of the hospital is the Heilgeist Church. It dates back to the early 15th century. The small, four-bay hall church has a straight choir apse and features a Baroque altarpiece from around 1770. In addition to the west portal, which leads to the waterway, the church has an east portal as well as two doors on the east gallery through which one enters the so-called church corridor. It is formed by two parallel, two-story wings that were added to the church around 1645 and served to house the sick, the infirm, and the elderly. The passage is closed off to the east by a gate that separates the church passage from the rest of the hospital. In 1680, a gallery was built into the church corridor, which served as the model for the colonnade of City Hall. Before 1945, the Heilgeistkirche served as a garrison church and is now used as a place of worship for the St. James parish. The restored church corridor has been converted into apartments.

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.

The tomb is surrounded by other megalithic tombs, all of which are located in a region rich in megalithic tombs in the southeastern part of the island of Rügen. One of the damaged capstones, as well as a wall stone, revealed several small bowls on the surface. The 1970 excavation conducted by Adolf Hollnagel revealed that the burial chamber of the east-west-oriented, trapezoidal megalithic tomb had been severely disturbed. Several finds, such as amber beads, axes, cross-cutters, and other flint tools, as well as pottery shards, bones, and a hand millstone, were uncovered from the burial chamber.

Vilm Island

Vilm Island

Vilm

Vilm, the small sister island of Rügen, which is only a few hectares in size, is known for its gnarled oaks and sunrises, which captivated Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge. They walked the island together and wrote letters to Goethe about its beauty. Around 6,000 years ago, the 94-hectare island of Vilm was formed from moraines left behind by glaciers. It is still an untouched natural paradise today. Forests of ancient oaks and giant beeches characterize the landscape. The beginning of settlement on Vilm can be traced back to the Stone Age. Once a holy place of the Slavs, later a Christian pilgrimage site and medieval hermitage, a princely summer residence in the 19th century and soon after a meeting place for landscape painters - Vilm has always exerted a great attraction. This is probably most evident in painting. Over the last 200 years, the island has been visited by over 350 painters. The entire island has been a nature reserve since 1936. Guided tours of Vilm Island take place from the end of March to the end of October. Daily at 10 a.m. and a second guided tour from 1.30 p.m. if required. The starting point is the port of Lauterbach. The motorboat "Julchen" will take you to the island of Vilm. The excursion leads partly through rough terrain and covers a distance of 3 kilometers. The outward and return journeys take 15 minutes each. The guided tour lasts 2.5 hours. The participation fee must be paid in cash and on the day of the tour on the motorboat "Julchen". Payment by EC card is not possible. Important: Unauthorized access to the island and taking animals with you is prohibited. Due to the limited number of participants, pre-registration is essential.

CRANORAMA

CRANORAMA

Altenpleen

KRANORAMA am Günzer See is located on the mainland between Barth and Stralsund. This modern and barrier-free observation station for cranes was opened in 2015 and enables undisturbed and near-natural observation of cranes and other resting birds and birds of prey. On the viewing platform, visitors can observe cranes during their resting period in spring and fall. The Kranorama provides audiovisual media as well as a live broadcast of the cranes from the field on a large screen. In the fall, the cranes can usually be seen from September to early November. They also make a brief stopover in spring, especially in March. During the day, they can be found in harvested maize fields, where they feed on the energy reserves they need for their onward flight. As the cranes are fed in the neighboring fields of the Kranorama, it is very likely to see them there. Please take care not to disturb the cranes during your visit, as undisturbed stopovers with extensive feeding are vital for the survival of these large birds. It is therefore best to wear muted colors and move quietly. From April, the Kranorama takes a summer break. It reopens in the fall when the cranes are resting. Outdoor observation is still possible outside opening hours.
