Guided tour of the Stasi documents archive at the historic site
For 40 years, the Stasi secured the rule of the state party SED. In its "fight against the enemy," the Ministry for State Security expanded ever further - in Lichtenberg and throughout the GDR. In 1990, courageous citizens not only secured the secret police's documents from destruction, they also made Mielke's headquarters a public space again. Today, the Stasi Documents Archive is located here and provides information about the work of the Stasi and its documents.

"A monument to surveillance": The Stasi Documents Archive contains 111 kilometers of files, many of which contain personal data about people - collected by the state. The exhibition "Insight into the Secret" makes the importance of this archive understandable.
After the tour, you have the opportunity to visit our sample file collection. It consists of reproductions of original Stasi documents. In addition to material files and personnel files of Stasi officers, there are also files of those affected. They have agreed to the publication of their documents and are making an "insight into the secret" possible.
