Museum Hotel Silber
About

Museum Hotel Silber in Stuttgart is a powerful site of remembrance and civic education, located in a building once used by the Gestapo during the Nazi era. For over 50 years, the structure served as a police headquarters, including its darkest chapter as the regional center of the Secret State Police for Württemberg and Hohenzollern. Today, it has been transformed into a place of historical and political learning through a citizen-led initiative. The museum’s permanent exhibition explores the role of police in dictatorship and democracy, focusing on perpetrators, victims, and institutional accountability. Visitors encounter original artifacts such as a preserved cell door, documents, and multimedia installations that trace the building’s complex legacy. Temporary exhibitions and public events deepen engagement with themes of justice, resistance, and civil rights. Operated by the Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg, Museum Hotel Silber stands as a testament to democratic vigilance and historical transparency, offering a sobering yet vital experience in the heart of Stuttgart.
