The Stasi-Museum is located in Berlin in the Lichtenberg district.
The seat of the museum has been the seat of the Ministry of State Security of the GDR from 1950 to 1990. The museum is a collection of objects, photos and documents related to the activity of the Stasi.
The Ministry of State Security was created in February 1950 and was placed in the current headquarters of the museum.
Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall on January 15th 1990, numerous demonstrators attacked the palace in order to preserve and not disperse the huge documentation collected in the forty-year Stasi activity, which was nearing destruction by the Stasi personnel as the German Reunification approached. to cancel the evidence of their crimes.
On March 31, 1990, the Ministry of State Security ceased to exist.
In order to preserve the memory of the Stasi oppression activity on 7 November 1990, the Stasimuseum was created. In 2010 the museum was temporarily transferred to block 22 of Ruschestraße 103, which is located opposite block 1, the historical site of the museum, as this building is being renovated.
In early 2012, the museum was brought back to its historic building.
