Spandau Prison 1877 - 1987

The exhibition 'Spandau Prison 1877–1987' at the Zitadelle Zeughaus offers a comprehensive look into the history of one of Berlin's most notorious institutions. Spanning over a century, the display covers the prison's role, the lives of its high-profile inmates, and its ultimate demolition. It is an essential historical examination of 20th-century German political history housed within the fortress walls. Please note that the site has limited opening hours on certain dates due to concerts and festivals, so it is recommended to check the schedule before visiting. The exhibition officially opened in August 2025 and runs through May 2026.
