- I'll be honest and say not as interesting, chilling or downright creepy as Gedenkstätte Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, the Stasi Museum is loacted in the offices of the former leaders of the Stasi (such as Erich Mielke).
Like the prison at Hohenschönhausen, the site was a mini-protected zone with East Berlin and is still the home of many of the (still viewable) records kept on the people of West Berlin during the 'reign' of the Stasi.
The highlights for me were the pieces of spying gear on display, the overall 1970's feel to the whole place but ultimately the fact that this is precisely where the leadership of the Stasi/East German regime ruled over the people.

Great video. Thanks for putting it on.
Very interesing video! I visited this museum back in 2018 and I clearly remember the eerie atmosphere throughout the entire compound as well. I went to the Stasi archives too which was very impressive to see. The sheer amount of data kept by the Stasi about people who were being spied on was absolutely mind boggling. Also, the elevator at 4:22 is a so called Paternoster lift. They basically consist of a series of open elevator cabins that move up and down continuously along a vertical, conveyor belt-like system.
13:47 I know this one, the cloth would be tightly wrapped on the seat in the interrogation room. They would make (forced) the person being interrogated to have their hands faced down on the seat while sitting on their hands. This causes the hands to sweat into the cloth.
After the interrogation is completed, the prisoner leaves the room while the interrogating officer removes the cloth from the seat and placed inside the jar and tightly sealed. Should there be a possible event, after the prisoner has been released from prison decides to make an escape from East Germany, the cloth would be used as a means of tracking the escapee from the scent left on the cloth for search hound dogs to track his whereabouts in hopes of capturing him.
The Stasis were very through in everything when it comes to controlling the population as well as individuals. They don't miss any details.
Those batteries looks very new. Wish I could see the expiration date on the batteries 6:27
If the batteries were old, the acid would have corroded and leaked by now, like a long time ago.
8:21 I wonder if any of the phones still work? I'd be tempted to try it out to see if it's still active and can call any phone inside the building.
The Stasi, they knew how to record what each individual was doing in East Germany and any other country too in such detail which can be what an individual was having for breakfast such as 30g of cornflakes and if the suspects had more than 30g of cornflakes, that could potentially arouse suspicion not to mention espionage which is considerably more dangerous. Plus, if anyone said the Stasi have revealed their true identities then that is BS too because the Stasi will always use a different name to cover their tracks and sadly, they were not only the most dangerous but the most efficient secret police in history not to mention lethal.
We have that in the U.S. now with the NSA and DOJ
Why they failed if they were so efficient?
Been there -very cool. Takes me back to when I was there every day keeping files on you lot
I visited this place some years ago in mind winter. The fug from diesel oil heating added to the atmosphere. The heady fumes must have contributed to decisions make in the place. Well worth a visit. Just to see the decoration of DDR high office decoration.
What is ”mind winter”? Like cold ass thoughts about your ops?
Mid winter typo@@olegwiththeknowledge1729
Comme j'aimerai visiter ce lieu où la sinistre Stasi officiait. On entrait dans ce lieu, on n'en ressortait pas aussitôt. Erich Mielke, s'arrangeait toujours pour vous garder quelques années en prison.
Bottom line: IN THE END, IT DID NOT WORK. lol
Gang stalking is the modern day stasi that t.i's are going though today we need help
