Pinnow: Village History, Technology and Culture

Pinnow brings together several different reasons to stay: a historic village center, museums devoted to technology and agriculture, and cultural and dining options. If you’re looking for a hotel for a trip to Pinnow, these highlights may influence your choice of location. Would you like to focus mainly on village history, visit an exhibition, or combine culture and cuisine? The offerings also differ in their respective visiting arrangements.

Getting There and Finding Your Way

Pinnow is accessible via the B2, the K7304 and the Berlin–Schwedt railway line. If travelling by train, it’s a good idea to check the current timetable. The Pinnow railway stop also provides access to nature experiences in the surrounding area. When planning your trip, you can choose between different priorities: travelling by train or via the road connections, and exploring nature in the surrounding area.

Village History and Church

At the heart of Pinnow’s historic village center is an “island” with the church and a house. Pinnow village church preserves two bells dating from 1481 and 1522. Pinnow was first documented as “Pynnow” on 5 April 1354. The village center, the early form of the name and the dated bells each represent different aspects of the village’s history.

Technology and Agriculture in Two Museums

The Pinnow Telephone and Rocket Museum is located in the former House 9 of the Pinnow Repair Works. It displays rocket and communications technology, including surface-to-air, air-to-air and anti-tank missiles. The Pinnow Agricultural Museum focuses on something different: housed in a former estate granary, it displays agricultural tools and machinery on two floors. Technology and agriculture are therefore presented here as clearly distinct exhibition topics.

Visits to both museums require advance registration by phone. Check the current arrangements before your trip. This is especially important if you’re planning your stay around a museum visit.

Culture, Cuisine and Other Interests

The Eisschmiede Uckermark in Pinnow combines culture, homemade ice cream and hearty food in one place. The offerings also include coffee and tea specialties, homemade lemonades and selected wines. Food and drink options may change over time; if you’re coming specifically for a particular offering, it’s best to check in advance.

The Eisschmiede’s cultural program includes concerts, open-air cinema and informal events such as a weekly games afternoon. As programs and recurring events may change, check in advance to see what’s on during your travel dates. Unlike the museums, the focus here is on cultural events and food and drink.

Another point of interest is the Root Museum, located in a distillery in Pinnow. Check the current opening arrangements before your visit. For anglers, Haus-See and Hauptmann-See near Pinnow are of interest. Before fishing, check the applicable permits and conditions.

Uckermark as a Regional Setting

The Uckermärkische Seen Nature Park lies within the wider travel destination of Uckermark, amid a landscape rich in water and gently rolling hills. The park is known for its many clear-water lakes, kettle holes and bogs. Visitors can explore more than 150 kilometers of water routes and over 600 kilometers of signposted hiking trails.
