Topography of Terror

Beschreibung

During the years of the so-called Third Reich, the buildings of the former School of Industrial Arts and Crafts, Hotel Prinz-Albrecht, and Prinz-Albrecht-Palais on Prinz-Albrecht- and Wilhelmstrasse housed the most important institutions of Nazi terror - the Secret State Police Office, the Reich SS leadership and the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA). Heinrich Himmler, Reich Leader SS and Chief of German Police, and Reinhard Heydrich, Chief of Security Police and SD and head of the RSHA, installed the SS state's power center site on the edge of the government district. The terrain known today as the "Topography of Terror" was the central site for the planning and direction of most of the Nazi regime's large-scale crimes and acts of terror.
