LO:Peenemьnde is located in the northern part of the island Usedom. On the island volunteers will find an impressive landscape with steep coastlines, forests, swamps, marshland, and last but not least, charming fishing spots. From 1936 until 1989 the region was restricted (for army use only), therefore the nature in the surroundings has developed undisturbed. Looking back in history Peenemьnde participated in the development of the V-Rockets and today there is a memorial as well as a technical historical information centre reminding us of it. Short trips with sailing boats to other islands in the Baltic Sea are planned.
W: The volunteers will give continuity to the work done in the former concentration and prisoners of war camps. They will work on the area of an external camp of the former women’s concentration camp Ravensbrьck where women had to work under extreme conditions. The actual duties will consist in securing the area, measuring, digging burial sites and also to prove by documents all the work done. Surfaces of still existing roads, walls and squares have to be cleaned from vegetation and rubbish. This work will be done in cooperation with the local monument administration.
