Tour of the Stasi Records Archive at the Historic Site

About this Event

For 40 years, the Stasi secured the rule of the SED state party. In its “struggle against the enemy,” the Ministry for State Security continued to expand—in Lichtenberg and throughout the entire GDR. Courageous citizens safeguarded the files of the secret police from destruction in 1990 and helped bring an end to the Stasi’s operations. Today, the Stasi Records Archive, now part of the Federal Archives, is located here and provides insight into how the Stasi operated and how their files were used.
