44 years of political persecution: You can follow the darker side of Berlin’s GDR history in the Hohenschönhausen Memorial. GDR opponents, people who helped others to flee and political prisoners are all familiar with the former Stasi prison. Today the Berlin Hohenschönhausen Memorial remembers their story. Contemporary witnesses guide you over the site that houses 44 years of political persecution. Large parts of the building have been preserved and give you an authentic impression of the prison conditions between 1946 and 1990. It is therefore no wonder that the memorial attracts more than 400,000 visitors every year.
The permanent exhibition Inhaftiert in Hohenschönhausen – Zeugnisse politischer Verfolgung [Incarcerated in Hohenschönhausen – Witnesses of Political Persecution] shows 300 photos and nearly 500 artefacts including prison clothes and letters from inmates. It depicts the everyday lives of the inmates as well as the story of the former Stasi prison. Now for the first time, separate part of the exhibition looks at the world of the culprits.
A special Soviet camp was set up on the site of a former industrial kitchen in the north-east of Berlin at the end of the Second World War. After the camp was closed in October 1946, the central Soviet custodial prison for East Germany was established in the cellar of the building. The Ministry for State Security took it over in 1951 and expanded it with a new building in 1961 and used it until 1989 as a central custodial prison. Thousands of political prisoners were incarcerated here included nearly every famous GDR opponent.
The prison was sited in a restricted military area that was hermetically sealed from the outside world. The area was not even marked on any East German city map. Today, the site of the former prison of the Ministry for State Security in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen stands for the history of political persecution in the Soviet-occupied zone and the GDR like almost no other location in Germany.
You can visit the exhibition in the memorial without a guided tour and entrance is free. A more moving experience is a tour with a former inmate who can recount his personal tale and it is just these authentic contemporary witness accounts that attract so many visitors to Hohenschönhausen.
In a 360-degree virtual-reality movie, the viewer becomes a prisoner himself. The short film is based on the interrogation protocols of the DDR dissident and writer Jürgen Fuchs. On a virtual journey into the past, the viewer experiences interrogations and everyday life in the Stasi prison. He encounters guards, interrogators and cell neighbours.

Stasi Untersuchungsgefängnis Hohenschönhausen Berlin
Kaum ein Ort in der DDR war so geheim wie das Gefängnis des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit (MfS) in Berlin Hohenschönhausen. Auf keinem Stadtplan war es verzeichnet. Die Untersuchungshäftlinge, die dort einsaßen, wussten nicht, wo sie sich befanden; oft wussten sie nicht einmal, in welcher Stadt sie waren.

ABANDONED BERLIN WALL PRISON TOUR
We look around an abandoned Berlin Wall prison and tour the abandoned cells inside. Stasi Documentary I made in Berlin. Inside the Stasi Prison Hohenschönhausen Berlin. I investigate the history of the GDR (German Democratic Republic) and the Stasi secret police and intelligence service. Based on the NKVD or KGB, the Stasi was largely run by Erich Mielke and is often thought of as the most repressive and effective intelligence agencies in history.
Hohenshonhausen was the main remand prison and administrative center in the Stasi prison complex.
We investigate the GDR and what happened to inmates at the maw of this secretive and dark regime.

In this episode, we're briefly going to be investigating together, how the German Democratic Republic was repressed by the Stasi. We're going to visit the very centre of repression in the GDR, the Stasi headquarters in Berlin. We'll go to the very offices of the head of the Stasi, Erich Mielke. Before, what I'm proud to say, is a rare opportunity to see shut off areas of Hohenschonhausen Prison, which was a Stasi remand prison and was so secret in the German Democratic Republic at the time that it was left off all the maps. So let's get on with this week's episode. So this is the headquarters of the Stasi. Yeah, but not a great organisation, the Stasi. East Germany was one of the most surveilled countries in the world. Less than two years now, see what's up. Let's have a very quick look about how the German Democratic Republic came about and why the Stasi was seen by the ruling SED party as instrumental at retaining power for the party within the country. Following the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences of 1945 and the end of World War II, Germany was divided largely into two main zones. East Germany was under the jurisdiction of the Soviets, and West Germany was largely under the jurisdictions of the British, American and French. In 1949, these two main zones effectively became two countries.
- [Show Host] If a guard was escorting a prisoner down the corridor and saw the red light come on in the ceiling, they would use a series of tape markers in the floor to make the prisoner face the wall and therefor, avoid contact with any other prisoners. Interrogations were carried out in one of the many soundproof cells in the interrogation wing. Interrogations could last day and night and were designed to wear the prisoner down in the hope that they'd tell the Stasi names, inform them of more clandestine activity and prepare them for trial. The guards never carried weapons for fear that the inmates could possibly grab a gun off them and do themselves or the guards harm. Andre explained the alarm system. It's important to remember that the remit of the Stasi agent doctors who worked on the patients in Hohenschonhausen's hospital, was to make the inmates well enough for trial. They also interrogated inmates in their hospital beds and could withhold treatment as a method of intimidation. In 1992, the prison complex was listed as a historical monument and since 1994, 5.4 million people, many of them youngsters, have visited the memorial. Most of the memorial's guided tours are conducted by former inmates. I asked Andre before we left whether any former inmates ever visited the prison and made themselves known. oh yes, he replied, but most of them don't realise that the prison that they're about to visit was actually the one that they were incarcerated in all those years ago, such was the secrecy and disorientation surrounding arrest and release in those times. I hope you've enjoyed my short video about the GDR and in particular about Hohenschonhausen Prison. There's so much history and so much more to see at this fantastic museum that everyone who's interested in this period of history should make the utmost effort to go and visit. I cannot thank the team at Hohenschonhausen Prison enough for making us feel so welcome and allowing us to see parts of the prison that are usually closed off to the public. If you're ever in Berlin and have a day to spare, then I'd highly recommend you visit this fantastic memorial.

Germany: Russian tour guide leads public through former Stasi prison
The doors to the Gedenkstaette Berlin-Hohenschoenhausen, a former German Democratic Republic prison located in Lichtenberg, were opened to Russian speaking visitors on Wednesday, who were given a tour by a former Russian inmate. The prison is notorious for its use by the East German Communist Ministry of State Security, commonly known as the ‘Stasi.’
SOT, Guide (Russian): I think there are two sides. The first one is a historical side, which the tour aims to explain and show, of the memorial here in Berlin-Hohenschoenhausen, and the second side is a psychological side which is related to my own experiences as a former inmate of the East German Communist Ministry of State Security [Stasi].

The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is a museum and memorial located in Berlin's north-eastern Lichtenberg district in the locality of Alt-Hohenschönhausen, part of the former borough of Hohenschönhausen.It was opened in 1994 on the site of the main political prison of the former East German Communist Ministry of State Security, the Stasi.Unlike many other government and military institutions in East Germany, Hohenschönhausen prison was not stormed by demonstrators after the fall of the Berlin Wall, allowing prison authorities to destroy evidence of the prison's functions and history.Because of this, today's knowledge of the functioning of the prison comes mainly from eye-witness accounts and documents sourced from other East German institutions.

Erinnerung an Grundsteinlegung Hohenschönhausen (Kiez konkret) - Teil 1
Die DDR war ein Land der Wohnungssuchenden. Riesige Plattenbausiedlungen sollten die Misere beseitigen. So wurde am 09. Februar 1984 in der Barther Straße 3 der Grundstein für den damals jüngsten Berliner Stadtbezirk Hohenschönhausen gelegt. 30 Jahre später wird gefeiert: Dabei wollen Bezirksbürgermeister Andreas Geisel und Stefanie Frensch von der Wohnungsbaugesellschaft HOWOGE aber nicht nur erinnern, sondern auch einen Ausblick auf die kommenden Herausforderungen geben.

Vor zwanzig Jahren, im Juni 1994, nahm die Gedenkstätte Berlin-Hohenschönhausen ihre Arbeit auf. Nur vier Jahre nach Schließung der zentralen Haftanstalt des Staatssicherheitsdienstes begann die Aufarbeitung eines der dunkelsten Kapitel der DDR. Aus dem düsteren Haftort ist eine lebendige Erinnerungsstätte geworden. Seit ihrer Gründung wurde die Gedenkstätte von mehr als 3,3 Millionen Menschen besucht. Aus Anlass des Jubiläums lädt die Stiftung zu einer Pressekonferenz mit dem Regierenden Bürgermeister Klaus Wowereit ein. Zusammen mit dem Direktor der Gedenkstätte Hubertus Knabe ziehen sie Bilanz der letzten zwanzig Jahre und geben Auskunft über die Projekte und Vorhaben der Zukunft.
