The memorial invites all interested parties to visit the memorial free of charge on 5 December 2023. The occasion is the anniversary of the peaceful occupation of the Stasi district administration in Dresden. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the historical site and learn how the state repressive apparatus attempted to destroy political opponents.

The Soviet prison cellar takes visitors into the barren cells of the Soviet secret service. From here, many were sent to one of the Soviet labour camps after being sentenced by a Soviet military tribunal.
