History and function of the building

The building was built from 1930 to 1931 in what was then Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße (today Seelenbinderstraße) according to plans by Conrad Beckmann . A police school and a police station were built on behalf of the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate . After the end of the Second World War , the NKVD took over the building and set up a collective prison for potential Nazi criminals in the basement and garage . These people as well as other "hostile elements" were arrested by the Red Army , sentenced to camp detention without legal assistance and transported to special camp No. 7 Sachsenhausen and the special camp Ketschendorf . A memorial plaque that was placed at the main entrance on December 13, 2000 commemorates this time. It bears the following inscription: “In this house, a former police barracks, / was a base / of the Soviet secret service NKVD from 1945 to 1947. / After the end of the war, numerous / citizens were interned in the cellar / of this building / and deported from here to prison camps / where many of them perished. ”In 1947, the city's administrative school moved into the premises of the former officers' school; after the founding of the GDR a guard regiment of the barracked people's police . From 1972 until reunification , the building was used by the military construction department of the Ministry of Defense and then handed over to the Bundeswehr .
