About Stasi Museum
The preserved headquarters of East Germany's secret police sits exactly as it was left in 1990, with Erich Mielke's wood-paneled office, surveillance equipment, and filing systems intact. The building itself served as the nerve center for monitoring 6 million citizens. Displays reveal the bureaucratic machinery of state surveillance and its psychological impact.
Insider Tips
