Oppressive but very important place because we must not forget our history. Information on the tours and opening hours can be found here: stiftung-hsh.de.

The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial consists of the premises of the former central remand prison of the State Security of the GDR, which was in operation in Weißensee and Hohenschönhausen from 1951 to 1989. Mainly political prisoners were arrested there and tortured physically and mentally. [2] The building complex was not shown on city maps. Since the 1990s there has been a memorial in the same place as a place of remembrance for the victims of communist tyranny in Germany. The buildings of the former prison were listed as a historical monument in 1992. The memorial is a member of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience.

Directly across from the main entrance in the building (left entrance)
But the tour is also worthwhile if you have the time
Here you can get a glimpse of the prison
