Orte der Erinnerung 1933 - 1945

The Plötzensee Memorial Center

The Plötzensee Memorial Center commemorating the victims of National Socialism from in and outside of Germany is a European site of quiet remembrance. From 1933 to 1945, nearly three thousand people were executed here who had been unjustly sentenced to death by the National Socialist judiciary. Among them were more than 1,400 Germans and more than 1,500 people from over 20 other nations. Today, the execution chamber is a memorial. The permanent exhibition in the room adjoining it documents the practice of the National Socialist judicial and penal system in both English and German. 

It is possible to access information about the lives of all those who were murdered in Plötzensee at a terminal in the centre. More information is continuously added to this documentation; the Memorial to the German Resistance is responsible for this content.

The site is conducive to quiet remembrance.
There are no guided tours.
