Plötzensee Prison

Plötzensee Prison, located in Berlin, Germany, was built in the early 20th century and served as a detention center, notably during the Nazi era. It is historically significant for its role in incarcerating political opponents, resistance members, and racial persecution victims. Many executions, including those of political dissidents and resistance figures, took place there during the 1930s and 1940s. Today, Plötzensee is a memorial site honoring those who suffered and died there, emphasizing its importance in Germany’s history of resistance and remembrance of crimes committed during the Nazi regime.
