The EL-DE-Haus was the seat of the Cologne Gestapo from 1935 to 1945. The former house prison in the basement commemorates the suffering of the prisoners with over 1,800 contemporary inscriptions left by the detainees. The permanent exhibition in the former offices of the Gestapo shows the history of Cologne under National Socialism.
As part of this event, you will get 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 be any free places beyond that, you will learn of this shortly beforehand at the information desk in the museum.
