The former KGB remand prison today is a memorial site. You'll see the prison yard and have a look into the basement with some of the prison cells. For almost five decades, the prison belonged to the Soviet military town No. 7 - a “forbidden city”, which was located next to the New Garden. It was one of the most important intelligence sites of the Soviets during the Cold War. Here were among other things the German headquarters of the military counterintelligence of the KGB and the remand prison.
