KummersdorfKummersdorf is the name of an estate near Luckenwalde at 5205' N and 1320' E, around 25km south of Berlin, in the Brandenburg region of Germany. Until 1945 Kummersdorf hosted the weapon office of the German Army which ran a development centre for future weapons, as well as an artillery range. Wernher von Braun developed the liquid propellant rockets type A-1 and A-2 in Kummersdorf; this research was moved to Peenemnde in 1936 as the facility was too small for testing. Other reasons for the move included the need for a secret and secure testing site, as well as the decision of the Luftwaffe to join the development of rockets. After 1938 Kummersdorf was used for nuclear research. See also External links
