Gedenkstätte Amthordurchgang, Memorial site in Gera, Germany
The Amthordurchgang Memorial occupies the former administrative section of a prison building constructed in 1874 in the center of Gera.
From 1933 to 1989, the facility operated as a detention center, first under Gestapo control and later under Soviet military police and East German authorities.
The memorial contains two exhibition floors presenting artifacts, documents, and testimonies that detail political persecution during both German dictatorships.
School groups can schedule guided tours through the facility to learn about regional history and examine authentic historical items from different periods.
Over 2,800 individuals faced imprisonment at this location between 1952 and 1989 for opposing the Socialist Unity Party's governmental policies.
