The Memorial and documentation site "Victims of political tyranny" provides information about this place of political persecution under National Socialism and later under the Soviet occupying power in the GDR era.

Using selected biographies of people from the town or the region, this memorial commemorates those who were persecuted for their political convictions, their faith, their race, for resistance to the regime or because they were simply under suspicion, and as a result were sent to camps, became entangled with the political criminal justice system, lost their lives under inhuman conditions or were murdered.

One part of the building containing five cells was left in its original authentic state. These cells depict the fates of well-known Frankfurt citizens between 1933 and 1989. A solitary confinement cell from around 1960 and a detention cell from 1989 tell you about the conditions under which prisoners where detained.

Free admission. A small fee is charged for group tours, with the price depending on the size of the group.

The following is on offer:
  • Independent viewings
  • Guided tours of the exhibition
  • Videos on the themes of the memorial site
  • Special exhibitions


The memorial and documentation site also provides the following educational offers:
  • Exploration in small groups with work assignments
  • Support by experts
  • Working on school projects
  • Introduction to scientific work
  • Project work on specific historical periods: Germany 1933-1945, 1945-1950 and 1949-1989
