The Gedenkstätte Bautzner Straße Dresden is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Stasi, the secret police of the former East Germany. It is located in Dresden and is the only remaining original remand prison of the Stasi accessible to visitors in the Free State of Saxony. The site features exhibitions that explore both the experiences of political prisoners and the perspectives of former Stasi employees. Key attractions include preserved cells, interrogation rooms, and individual stories of political detainees. The memorial is open to the public, offering audioguides since 2019. Admission is generally free, but donations are welcomed. The site is wheelchair accessible. Visiting hours may vary, so checking the website before your visit is recommended.
