Please take the time for a tour with a former inmate of the Stasi prison. It is very oppressive, but educational.

A former remand prison of the Ministry for State Security. The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is located in a place that is more closely linked to the 44-year history of political persecution in the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ) and the GDR than almost any other in Germany.
Distance to the cycle path: 10 km
The memorial has been open daily since April 2001. On weekends and public holidays, guided tours are offered every hour between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

This is the site of the former central remand prison of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) of the GDR, which used to be surrounded by a military restricted area. Critics of the SED such as the dissident Rudolf Bahro and the civil rights activist Bärbel Bohley were imprisoned here. The site was marked as empty space on East Berlin's city maps. The prison was closed in October 1990. In 1992 it was listed as a historical monument and declared a memorial in 1994.

The historic prison complex can be visited with contemporary witnesses and historians during two-hour guided tours; registration is required. The permanent exhibition, which is open daily and admission is free, documents the experiences of the prisoners as well as the working and living environment of the prison staff. Changing special exhibitions are devoted to the history of the GDR and topics of political persecution.
