From 1935 to 1945, the headquarters of the Cologne Gestapo was located in the EL-DE House. The memorial of the former prison preserves more than 1800 individual inscriptions that recall the fate of the prisoners held in ten cells. The permanent exhibition, housed in the former office rooms of the Gestapo, shows the history of Cologne during the National Socialist period. As part of this guided tour, you will become familiar with the history of the building and the memorial. Individual aspects of the city's history during the National Socialist era will also be explained.
