Tips

☠ R✪BIN 🥾

October 2, 2021

For around 140 years, there were institutions on this site that were used for state persecution and repression. For decades, the building complex was used as a workhouse. Many of those interned here became victims of Nazi crimes. Most recently, during the SED regime, the name "Rummelsburg" stood for a men's prison notorious for political imprisonment.

>> City Workhouse > Work and Conservation House > Work and Conservation House > Penitentiary Berlin I << 1951 - 1990

You can learn more about the history of the individual periods on the information steles on site.

At the end of October 1990, the Rummelsburg prison was closed and after a long time

Vacant as of 2007 developed into a residential complex.

Although the former prison buildings are now used as apartments, this open-air museum has been integrated into the residential area. There are numerous information panels about the history and steles with the life stories of former inmates.
