Gedenkstätte Lindenstraße 54/55, Memorial and architectural heritage monument in Nördliche Innenstadt, Potsdam, Germany.
The Lindenstrasse Memorial combines a courthouse and prison complex, featuring exhibitions that document political persecution across different periods of German history.
Built in 1737, this structure served as a Soviet secret service prison from 1945 to 1952, following its role as a Nazi persecution site during World War II.
The memorial presents exhibitions focusing on individuals imprisoned during the Nazi regime, Soviet occupation, and German Democratic Republic periods.
The memorial opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs for school groups and individual visitors.
On December 5, 1989, members of the New Forum demanded control of this detention facility, contributing to the end of political persecution in Potsdam.
