Without the commitment of these eyewitnesses, the Andreasstrasse Memorial and Educational Centre would not exist today. They organised the first guided tours of the Andreasstrasse area and organised church services, concerts and three art exhibitions under the heading \u201cEinschluss\u201d (Admittance\/ Locked-In). When it became clear that the building would not be demolished, but would become a place of remembrance, discussions were initiated on the design and content of such a place. In 2012, the Free State of Thuringia transferred the responsibility for the site to the Ettersberg Foundation. It began to develop a memorial and educational centre which opened its doors to the public on December 3, 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more about the history of \u201cAndreasstrasse\u201d as well as the stories of eyewitnesses in our <a href=\"https:\/\/stiftung-ettersberg.de\/en\/what-we-do\/exhibitions\/dauerausstellungen\/\">exhibitions<\/a> at the Andreasstrasse Memorial and Educational Centre, as well as online and in some of our publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"content-blocks-wrapper zeitzeugen-wrapper\">\n            \n\n        <div class=\"content-wrapper wrapper-breakout zitat-wrapper rs-content-block-wrapper text-toggler-wrapper\" id=\"content-block-block_f8b6902975920921a953bd2a22e54ca83\">\n            <div class=\"content-wrapper-item row\" data-text-toggled=\"text-toggled\">\n                <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 content-wrapper-item-image\" data-text-color=\"gelb\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/stiftung-ettersberg.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Barbara-Sengewald-im-Gespraech-als-Zeitzeugen-mit-den-Schuelern-der-8-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stiftung-ettersberg.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Barbara-Sengewald-im-Gespraech-als-Zeitzeugen-mit-den-Schuelern-der-8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stiftung-ettersberg.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Barbara-Sengewald-im-Gespraech-als-Zeitzeugen-mit-den-Schuelern-der-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stiftung-ettersberg.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Barbara-Sengewald-im-Gespraech-als-Zeitzeugen-mit-den-Schuelern-der-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stiftung-ettersberg.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Barbara-Sengewald-im-Gespraech-als-Zeitzeugen-mit-den-Schuelern-der-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-12 col-lg content-wrapper-item-content\">\n                    <div class=\"content-wrapper-item-inner\">\n                                                    <div class=\"content-wrapper-item-content-headline\">Barbara Sengewald<\/div>\n                            <div class=\"underline\"><p><strong>*1953 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dissident in the GDR and a participant in the 1989 Peaceful Revolution<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"content-wrapper-item-inner-text-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"content-wrapper-item-content-text hyphens\" data-text-color=\"gelb\">\n                                <p>&#8220;I see it as one of our great achievements that the revolution was peaceful and that we managed to make the Stasi files, or rather what was left of them, accessible.
