History

Special camp, Soviet remand prison, Stasi prison

The site of today's memorial on Genslerstraße and its immediate surroundings are closely linked to the history of Germany since 1945. Different phases of political persecution and imprisonment overlap here in a confined space. Different camps and prisons were located here under Soviet occupation and during the GDR, where political opponents were imprisoned.
