Memorial
The Hohenschönhausen Memorial (Gedenkstätte) was founded in the early 1990s by former inmates. The prison was listed as a historical site in 1992 and welcomed its first visitors in 1994. The Foundation is funded equally by both the German federal government and the Berlin state government.
The Foundation was initially headed by Dr. Gabriele Camphausen, then by Mechthild Günther, who served as provisional director until September 2000. Dr. Hubertus Knabe has since served as Executive Director.
The Foundation is open year-round, with hourly tours between 11:00 and 15:00 (10:00 - 16:00 weekends). English-speaking tours are done once-daily at 14:30. Visitors may tour in groups only, entrance fees range from 1 Euro (students) to 5 Euros (regular admission).
