GDR Secret Police Detention Prison

From 1960 to 1989, about 4,900 prisoners passed through the Stasi investigative prison located in the Hanseatic city of Rostock. Most were detained for political reasons, for plans and attempts to escape from the GDR, for dissent and the desire to independently decide how to live. I already showed a similar prison in Berlin and told how prisoners of conscience were exhausted by applying methods of physical and psychological influence to them. This time I will show photos of a prison in Rostock, where there were 50 cameras and 110 prisoners could be placed at the same time.

The investigative prison was located among the buildings of the Ministry of State Security of the GDR and was hidden from the eyes of passers-by. This is the entrance to the former prison (now a museum) today:
