Normannenstrasse 20 was an address that struck fear into the heart of most East Germans. This nondescript 1960s office block in a suburban street was the headquarters of the Ministry of State Security, notorious for its Stasi secret police. Now a fascinating museum, it offers an unrivalled perspective on the activities of the Stasi and the oppressive East German state. Exhibits include surveillance techniques, files on individuals and even a van used to round up suspects. One of the best bits is the retro atmosphere that pervades the minister’s level, with much of the original décor and office equipment still in place.
