The Stasi Museum occupies the preserved headquarters of the East German Ministry for State Security (MfS) in Lichtenberg. The office of the feared Stasi chief Erich Mielke is maintained exactly as he left it in 1989.
The MfS compound, with over 40 buildings, was the nerve centre of one of history's most pervasive surveillance states. After the Peaceful Revolution of 1989, citizens stormed the complex on 15 January 1990, securing files from destruction.
