The EL-DE-Haus served as the seat of the Cologne Gestapo from 1935 to 1945. The former detention block in the basement commemorates the suffering of the prisoners with more than 1,800 contemporary inscriptions left by the detainees. The permanent exhibition in the former Gestapo office rooms shows the history of Cologne under National Socialism.
As part of this event, you will receive an insight into the history of the building. In addition, selected aspects of the city's history during the Nazi era will be explained.
Due to the limited number of participants, we recommend registering in advance. Should there still be places available beyond that, you will learn of this shortly beforehand at the information desk in the museum.
