A conversation with a contemporary witness
Between 1951 and 1990, the Berlin-Mitte Remand Prison, or UHA II, was located on Keibelstrasse at Berlin's Alexanderplatz in the GDR. It was subordinate to the GDR Ministry of the Interior and was part of the East Berlin Presidium of the People's Police.
In this remand prison, people were imprisoned on various charges and awaited the outcome of investigations and trials.
Keibelstrasse is a symbol of state repression and arbitrariness, reflecting notions of political opposition and social deviance, but also of "ordinary" crime in a dictatorship. Starting in 1990, film and music producers used the lower floors of the former prison as a backdrop.
Interview a former inmate of the Keibelstrasse Remand Prison about his experiences and the background to his arrest. After an introduction to the "source of contemporary witnesses," prepare the interview using a biography and then conduct it independently.
