An important place for the peaceful revolution in the GDR was the regional office of the Stasi (Ministry of State Security of the GDR) and prison at Bautzner Straße in Dresden.

Exhibition on the GDR state security". After lunch together, we return to the present days and you can train your drawing skills in the comic workshop "familiarstrange".
