Relocation of our Museum

Because House 1, where our museum was located for the past 20 years will be reconstructed and renovated over the next one and a half years, the Stasimuseum moved to a temporary quarters by the end of July.

 

Now the museum is situated in house 22 on the opposite side of house 1. The new location is a historical place, too: it was the former general’s canteen, also called “General’s Hill” by the Stasi employees.

 

Information in English language will be added to the exhibition as soon as possible. A full translation of the panels and exhibits will follow.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience,

Added are a lot of exhibits that sample the activities of the State Security, the different aspects of the political system and the resistance and opposition in the GDR.
