Facts and practical information

The documentation and memorial site in the former remand prison of the district administration of the Stasi in Rostock focuses on the work of the Ministry for State Security of the GDR and commemorates its victims. It is one of the best preserved pre-trial detention facilities of the MfS. The DuG is embedded in the Documentation Center of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for the Victims of Dictatorships in Germany and was operated until August 2017 by the Rostock branch of the Federal Commissioner for Stasi Records in cooperation with the University of Rostock. Between 2017 and 2021, the DuG was closed for renovation. In 2021, the State Center for Political Education of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania took over the sponsorship.
