Visitors' Service
|
The Visitors' Service is responsible for looking after the visitors to the Memorial. The Visitors' Service is located in the Memorial entrance area and will be glad to provide information on all the practical aspects of your visit.
If you are planning to visit the Memorial as a group, you can register with the Visitors' Service either by phone, letter, or email. The Visitors' Service then appoints a guide for your tour and coordinates the times with you, confirming the planned date of your visit and providing the details for payment. The Visitors' Service also offers a fee-based service for accompanying film teams (permission to film has to be obtained in advance).
It is only possible to view the extensive prison complex on an official guided tour. The guided tours team has more than 30 freelance members, most of them former inmates, who also relate the tour to their own experience in the remand prison. Since our tour guides were imprisoned for a variety of reasons during different periods of persecution, they provide an insight into a broad spectrum of political persecution in the GDR. As part of the Memorial's civic education programme, our guides are also available for longer eyewitness interviews.
