Museum in der Runden Ecke (Museum in the Round Corner)
Museum in der Runden Ecke (Museum in the Round Corner) Review
This building once served as the headquarters of the city's secret police, the dreaded Staatssicherheitsdienst. The exhibition Stasi—Macht und Banalität (Stasi—Power and Banality) not only presents the offices and surveillance work of the Stasi but also shows hundreds of documents revealing the magnitude of its interests in citizens' private lives. The material is written in German, but the items and the atmosphere convey an impression of what life under such a regime might have been like. The exhibit about the death penalty in the GDR is particularly chilling.
