Peenemünde is a village with a seaport on the westmost extremity of a long sand-spit in the northwestern part of Usedom (an island) on the Baltic Sea coast of Germany.

Historically it's the world's first launch site, used for development of the V-1, A-4/V-2, Wasserfall and other missiles.

It's the location of Peenemünde Airfield and the former Peenemünde Army Research Center.
