HTM Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde
In 1942, the world's first start to start a rocket in the Army Experimental Institute in Peenemünde. The historical-technical museum today documents one of the most spectacular, but also one of the most dangerous technical breakthroughs of the 20th century.
Between 1936 and 1945, the Army test institution was one of the most modern technology centers in the world. In October 1942, the first start of a rocket in space came from here. However, research served only one goal from the start: high technology should create military superiority. Only through the massive use of forced laborers, concentration camp prisoners and prisoners of war was the establishment of the experimental institutions and the later mass production of the rocket, which Goebbels called "retribution weapon 2", was possible in such a short time.
In the production under inhumane conditions and in the fire at Belgian, English and French cities with the "miracle weapon", thousands of people lost their lives. The ambivalence of the use of the latest technology becomes clear in Peenemünde than in any other place. Together with the historical development, it is the focus of the exhibition of the Historical -Technical Museum of Peenemünde, which can be visited in the power plant of the former army test institution - the largest technical monument in Mecklenburg -Western Pomerania.
