Plötzensee Prison, Prison museum in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany.
The Plötzensee Prison complex spans 25 hectares and includes administrative buildings, barracks, an infirmary, and a church constructed with red brick facades.
Between 1933 and 1945, the Nazi regime executed more than 2,800 people at Plötzensee Prison, including resistance members and citizens from over 20 nations.
The memorial center maintains a permanent exhibition and digital documentation system to commemorate all individuals who lost their lives during the National Socialist period.
Located at Hüttigpfad in Berlin, the memorial center welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 to 17:00 with free admission and audio guide services.
The execution chamber features an exposed steel beam with eight iron hooks, installed in 1942, which remains as a testament to the facility's dark history.
