Political Detention – Andreasstrasse as a Site of Oppression

For what reasons were people imprisoned in Andreasstrasse? What did their daily life in prison look like? And what is a ‘political prisoner’?

The project day begins with a guided tour of the permanent exhibition “IMPRISONMENT | DICTATORSHIP | REVOLUTION: Thuringia 1949–1989.” With the help of the multimedia guide, the students then independently explore the second floor of our memorial and educational centre, which houses the still extant cellblock of the men’s prison. In groups, the students consider historical sources such as the detention regulations or personal letters from prisoners. In a final conversation, we summarize and analyse the findings together. On request, we can also organise a conversation with an eyewitness to discuss their experiences as a political prisoner with the students.
