This is an old GDR prison. The guides (especially if you speak German) are former inmates. So it is really personally and can be quiet shocking. You get to know a lot about Stasi (secret police of GDR) and about the communist regime.

Interesting tour in the old prison of former German republics secret police. The tours are all held by former inmates, and they provide an interesting look into these dark times of Berlin history.
