Under the charter granted to the Berlin Hohenschönhausen Memorial, one main feature of its work is to provide a venue for exhibitions that encourage and stimulate critical reflection on the forms and consequences of political persecution and suppression under the communist dictatorship. For this reason, the Memorial has various permanent and temporary exhibitions on show. As a rule, the exhibitions are open daily from 9am-6pm.
One permanent exhibition is entitled Zeit meines Lebens (Time of My Life), and shows portraits of those former Berlin-Hohenschönhausen prison inmates who today lead the guided tours through the Memorial. A second permanent exhibition, Die Kinder von Hoheneck (Children of Hoheneck), explores the fate of those children born while their mothers were held in the GDR women's prison of Hoheneck. In addition, the Museum usually has at least one temporary exhibition dealing with a specific aspect of GDR history.
The Museum's overall policy on exhibitions and presentation was first formulated in 2001, setting out the medium-term aim of evolving a museum-style tour for visitors, allowing them to learn about all the key locations in the prison on their own. This plan foresees the former main building being used to house a permanent exhibition dealing with the history of political persecution in eastern Germany. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints and the urgent construction work, this idea could not yet been put into practice.
The exhibitions are open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Free entrance.
