Hotel Silber, Former police headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany
Hotel Silber stands on Dorotheenstraße in Stuttgart as a multi-story building with a rectangular footprint and traditional German architectural details. Inside, exhibition spaces occupy multiple floors, showcasing rooms that span different periods and purposes.
The building was constructed in the 1930s and from 1937 to 1945 served as the main headquarters of the Gestapo. After the war it passed through several uses before being restored as a memorial site and museum.
The building now functions as a place where visitors confront topics like surveillance, state control, and the impact of totalitarian rule on ordinary people. Its spaces convey directly how such systems shaped daily life.
The site welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday with guided tours through the various floors. Taking your time to read the detailed information about each room helps you fully grasp the significance of the place.
The building preserves original interrogation rooms and cells that reveal how cramped and oppressive these spaces actually were. These unchanged rooms allow visitors to directly experience the physical reality of political persecution.
