Peenemünde - Aggregat 4 Missile
The "Aggregat 4" missile, better known as the V2 rocket (V2 = Vergeltungswaffe 2 = Vengeance Weapon 2) was the first long-range guided ballistic missile.
During testing in Peenemünde it was also the first vehicle reaching outer space by flying above the Kármán line (defined by the FAI at 100 km altitude) with the vertical test launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944 reaching an apogee of 176 km. Actual launch location was a tiny island named Greifswalder Oie.
This one here is actually just a replica standing in the Historisch-Technisches Museum Peenemünde (Historical Technical Museum Peenemünde).
