We are pleased to recommend our friends at Peenemünde-West as the very best way to experience the important historical sites of the Peenemünde research facility. The ideal way to experience the birthplace of the space age is through a guided tour given by people steeped in the history of the years 1936-1945. The restricted area around the Peenemünder Hook is witness to a long-gone era of seminal missile and aviation development. With a guided tour you will have access to all restricted areas including highlights like test stand VII, the launch site of the first space shot, and the huge development works – the birthplace of the A4-V2 missile.
