The “Hotel Silber” in Stuttgart was the headquarters of the Secret State Police during the Nazi era. The building was used by the police for more than half a century and was the headquarters of the Gestapo for Württemberg and Hohenzollern. In the former site of Nazi terror, a place of historical and political learning and encounter has been created as a citizen participation project. Exhibitions and events deal with perpetrators and their victims, with the police and their role in dictatorship and democracy.
