The "Köpenick Week of Blood" ("Köpenicker Blutwoche") took place in late June 1933 and marked the height of early SA terror and violence in Berlin. Several hundred SA storm troopers kidnapped and tortured up to 500 political opponents and Jews. At least 23 people died.
Köpenick's courthouse prison served as the coordination point for the arrest and torture of prisoners. A new permanent exhibition was opened here in June 2013 to mark the 80th anniversary of the Köpenick Week of Blood.
