A Special Kind of Police Custody The House Prison of the Secret State Police Office in Berlin 1933–1945 26.04.23–12.11.23
In the summer of 1933, the Gestapo set up its own prison in the newly established Secret State Police Office. It was located in the basement of the south wing of the building at Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 8, which was originally built as a school of industrial arts and crafts. A large proportion of the inmates in the house prison were politically persecuted, and the Gestapo hoped to gain special insights from their interrogation. Among them were numerous people from the German resistance, but also foreign opponents of the Nazi regime. Many detainees were tortured during interrogation. Some committed suicide. It is estimated that from 1933 to 1945 several thousand detainees were imprisoned in the house prison. For most detainees, prison was only one, often the first stop on a long ordeal through detention centers and concentration camps.
