Topographie des Terrors
The "Topography of Terror" is a documentation
center not only about Nazi terror but also for East Germany’s
communistic terror regime.
Well, it’s not really a center, although they started
building one in 1993. Up to now (2008) you can’t see too much
of the building, instead you see a lot of tourists reading posters in
the cheaply built open-air gallery and looking at the remains of the
wall.
But now things are taking on a new level. In a wise decision the Berlin
politicians proudly have set up a webcam, so everybody can look at the
progress of the construction work via internet. That’s
fantastic, impaired only by the little detail that there is no progress
whatsoever...

The memorial is located at the intersection of Wilhelmstr. and Niederkirchner
Str., the latter being called "Prinz Albrecht Str." during the
Nazi era, the name a synonym for "Gestapo", as that
organization was located here.
