Known forCold WarGDREast Germanysurveillance
The actual former headquarters of the East German secret police, preserved almost exactly as it was when the Stasi fled in 1990 — Mielke's office, the surveillance equipment, the file rooms are all intact and deeply eerie. It's off the tourist trail in Lichtenberg, which means you'll often have the place nearly to yourself. The audio guide is essential for context. This is one of the most authentic Cold War sites anywhere in the world.
