Rundgang durch das ehemalige Stadthaus

In the organizer's words:

The Stadthaus on Neuer Wall/Stadthausbrücke was a center of terror under National Socialism. It was home to the police headquarters and the Gestapo and criminal investigation departments. On the tour through the "Stadthöfe", Wiebke Johannsen focuses on the history of the construction and use of the building complex, the crimes committed by the police stations located there and the consequences they had for thousands of persecuted men and women.

From 1933 to 1943, the Stadthaus on Stadthausbrücke was a center of National Socialist terror in Hamburg. The Stadthaus History Site commemorates this. Two exhibitions present the site, the various crime complexes organized by the Hamburg police there and biographies of persecuted men and women. The memories of those who were interrogated and tortured in the Stadthaus can be heard in the historical "groaning corridor".

The Stadthaus historical site is located in the Stadthöfe, a shopping and business district. It has been part of the Hamburg Foundation of Memorials and Learning Sites in Memory of the Victims of Nazi Crimes since 2022.
