The former home of the Ministry of State Security, the Stasi Museum shows the original technology used by the Stasi, including hidden cameras, weaponry, and bugs. A highlight is the untouched office of Erich Mielke, the head of the Stasi from 1957 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. You can see his red briefcase, which held sensitive information such as files on Enrich Honecker, his boss and first secretary of East Germany’s Socialist Unity Party. The building was the control centre for surveillance throughout East Germany, with the complex even taking over an Apostolic Church. After 1989, there was increasing pressure to make Stasi files public, so in 1990 they were put on display in the building, turning it into the museum you see today. The original files are the only things that have been removed from the buildings: there are so many that they are still being catalogued today.
