Das Stasi-Gefängnis

This 20-minute film provides a compact and vivid overview of the history of the GDR and the Stasi.

The central remand prison of the East German State Security was located on the grounds. Between 1951 and 1989, over 11,000 people were imprisoned here for political reasons. Most of the area as well as the prison buildings have been preserved and thus offer an authentic impression of prison conditions and daily life in prison.

Die Führung bietet einen Einblick in die original erhaltene Küche mit angrenzenden Aufenthaltsräumen für das Strafgefangenenarbeitskommando der Frauen und in das einzige Haftkrankenhaus des DDR-Staatssicherheitsdienstes. Sie sehen die Röntgenstation, sowie Behandlungs-, Operations- und Laborräume. Startzeiten: Von 18:30 bis 23:30 alle 60 Minuten Dauer: 60 Minuten

The exhibition is located in a preserved, approximately 500 square metrekitchen and living wing of the prison. Prisoners of the women's commando "Neue Küche" worked here until 1989. The workrooms and accommodation can be explored with the help of tablets and an augmented reality app.
