Music in a Place of History
Peenemünde, at the northern tip of the island of Usedom in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, is one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's most historic sites. During World War II, the first large rockets were developed here—using forced labor. The Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde, located in the former power plant, is dedicated to processing this history. The concert project »Fluchtgeschwindigkeiten« makes this place a resonance chamber for music and memory.
The Ensemble Zwischenakt
The project is supported by Ensemble Zwischenakt, led by baritone Burkhard von Puttkamer, along with pianists Alina Pronina, Katharina Landl, and Giedre Lutz. The ensemble specializes in performing classical vocal and chamber music in unusual, often industrial locations, thereby rediscovering historical spaces through sound.
Songs, Sound Documents, and a Special Space
- Songs by Schubert, Schumann, and Eisler as the musical core of the program
- Sound documents from contemporary witnesses that make the history of Peenemünde audible
- The 28-meter-high boiler house of the power plant with its impressive acoustics
- A reflection on technical progress and crime
History Brought to Life Through Sound
»Fluchtgeschwindigkeiten« is not intended as an ordinary concert, but as an artistic engagement with the past. The combination of romantic art songs, politically charged Eisler settings, and original contemporary witness voices transforms the boiler house into a place of contemplation. The title alludes to rocket technology as well as the idea of fleeing a troubled history.
Concerts Throughout the Year
The project is designed as a concert series: The Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde invites you to »Fluchtgeschwindigkeiten« several times a year. Three dates are scheduled for 2026—in May and September. Each concert begins at 4:00 PM in the Peenemünde Power Plant.
