Logement & nourriture

Emplacement & temps libre
Peenemünde is located in the northern part of the island Usedom which is located in the very north-eastern part of Germany. This place is mainly known for its significant role in the times of the Nazi regime.
Whereas Peenemünde first was a place where the Nazis' army was positioned for developing different military tactics, the place became Europe’s biggest military research centre during 1936-45. Up to 12,000 people and forced labourers worked on an area of 25 km² to develop new weapon systems, such as the V-2 rockets and other military objects. It was exactly this rocket that was the first ever human-made rocket to enter space.
Today, there is a museum in Peenemünde that deals exactly with this time span and also gives insight about the technology that was used in those days.
Leisure time: Excursions can be planned, short trips to nearby towns, swimming. There will be bikes provided to get to the working location.
