Information
Due to the current situation and in order to prevent the corona virus from spreading, we have suspended the public services of the Stasi document archive until further notice.
A total of 111 kilometres of records: What type of information the East German secret police Stasi collected and stored in these records? What purpose they serve today? “Access to Secrecy” presents answers.
The former headquarters of the Ministry for State Security once housed thousands of employees of the secret police. Today it is a place where the injustices of that regime are addressed.
Discover the exhibition, the archive and the historical site! Join our various tours through the exhibition to gain more insights into the themes of the permanent exhibition.
„The Stasi Records Archive is very much a contemporary archive. As it offers insights into the mechanisms of surveillance and repression of a past regime it furthers the discussions of the values of freedom and human rights for society today.“
Roland Jahn
Federal Commissioner for the Stasi Records
