    The building complex, on which the headquarters of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) of the GDR employed more than 7,000 full-time employees, is now a place of education. State repression, opposition activities and the peaceful revolution can be clearly seen on site, archive and exhibition tours or individual tours.

    In the courtyard, the open-air exhibition “Revolution and the Fall of the Wall”, for which there is an audio guide, documents the peaceful revolution. The Robert Havemann Foundation, which is in charge of the exhibition, is located on the site with the "Archive of the GDR Opposition".

    The Stasi Museum is located in Building 1, where the work of the Stasi is shown in the exhibition “State Security in the SED Dictatorship”. The offices of Erich Mielke (Head of the Ministry for State Security from 1957 until the end of the GDR) can be viewed here. The Stasi records archive is prepared on the site in the “Insight into the Secret” exhibition.
