The Lindenstraße Memorial is one of the central places of remembrance and education in Brandenburg. Located in the center of Potsdam, it commemorates political persecution and imprisonment in the Nazi dictatorship, the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR in a former prison and court building, but also the overcoming of the SED dictatorship through the Peaceful Revolution of 1989/90.
