Stasimuseum

About

The Stasi Museum Berlin invites visitors to step into the heart of East Germany’s secret police history. Set in the former headquarters of the Ministry for State Security (MfS), the museum’s preserved office of former chief Erich Mielke is the cornerstone of the exhibition, offering an intimate glimpse into the inner workings of the regime. Displayed throughout the three‑floor complex are surveillance equipment, hidden infrared beams, and documentation that details how the Stasi infiltrated everyday life. With bilingual signage in German and English, the museum caters to international visitors and German‑speaking tourists alike. Guided tours run in German and English, and a free audio guide is available in several languages to enrich the self‑guided experience. For families or school groups, the museum provides educational programmes and group tours with knowledgeable guides.
