Permanent Exhibition in Rastatt

Why did it take so long for a democratic basic order to prevail in Germany? The permanent exhibition at the memorial tells the story of German freedom movements in the 19th century, supplemented by a section on opposition and resistance in the GDR.

Pupils work in groups to evaluate sources on Nazi crimes.

Permanent Exhibition in the Gatehouse in Ludwigsburg

The focus of this exhibition is on the work of the Central Office of the State Justice Administrations, which was set up in Ludwigsburg in 1958 to investigate National Socialist crimes. This is an internationally known authority that plays an outstanding role in the prosecution of Nazi crimes by the German judiciary.
