Installations and launch pads
Even if the Soviets demolished many of the installations when they left the military base in 1952 some buildings are still up. Those in better shape are the electrical power plant and the control bunker in which the museum is. The other the liquid oxygen plant is one of the 2 that were planned to be built. For security reasons it is not allowed to go inside.
Army camp for the workers.
Entry point of the Peenemunde site.
Trolley plateform.
The other installations are in a closed area, it is necessary to take a guide to see them.
Here is the hangar for the bus that serviced the city and the installations.
Forest take back its right where there were buildings (Werhner von Braun office).

The same launch pad today, with a stele located at the exact same place of the former launch pad.
General view of the launch pad and the shelter ring which surrounded the area (to protect it from the wind).
