Dokumentationszentrum Schwerin
In the location's words:
The historic court and prison complex on Schwerin's Demmlerplatz housed institutions of the judicial or repressive apparatus of the respective political system in all eras of the 20th century. Like no other building in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it reflects the continuities and ruptures in German history over the past century.
Built in 1916, the court building housed the district and regional courts until 1945, the special court for political criminal cases and the hereditary health court from 1933 and the higher regional court from 1942. After the war, the building was used by the Soviet Military Tribunal for Mecklenburg and from 1953/54 by the Schwerin District Administration for State Security. Since 1990, the building has once again been used by the judiciary. On June 6, 2001, the Demmlerplatz Documentation Centre was officially opened by the Federal President.
