What it is
The Runde Ecke, the round corner, was the headquarters of the Stasi, the GDR's secret police, in Leipzig. In December 1989 citizens occupied it, and the exhibition "Stasi, Power and Banality" is seen in its original offices: listening devices, disguises, letter-opening machines and files.
Opening times and tickets
The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with no booking, although right now it announces reduced hours of 11:00 to 16:00: check its website first. It costs €5 (€4 reduced) and includes a Spanish audio guide. On Saturdays at 16:00 there is a guided tour inside the former headquarters (€7.50), in German. It is at Dittrichring 24.
