History
Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial
Stasi prison
The permanent exhibition ‘Imprisoned in Hohenschönhausen’ in the main building is completely barrier-free. There are a few steps to overcome on the way to the former prison buildings, which is why the entire site is not wheelchair-accessible. The tours including a visit to the kitchen and the prison hospital are not wheelchair accessible.
Detailed information on barrier-free access can be found here: Further information
Like hardly any other place in Germany, this memorial in a former Stasi prison is linked to the history of political persecution in the Soviet occupation zone and the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Between 1945 and 1989, more than 20,000 people were imprisoned here. Today, contemporary witnesses guide visitors through the complex.
