IScO´s Excursion: A glimpse into the history - Hotel Silber as the Headquarter of the Nazi Secret State Police
Führung
Treffpunkt in Karlsruhe, Hauptbahnhof

Join IScO for a guided visit to Hotel Silber in Stuttgart, a place of remembrance with a permanent exhibition on the history of policing, the Gestapo and persecution. The building was already used as a police site during the Weimar Republic. Under National Socialism, it became a key location connected to the Gestapo, from which surveillance, repression and persecution were coordinated, affecting many people in Württemberg and Hohenzollern and beyond. After 1945, the building continued to be used by the police, and its later history also raises complex questions about continuity, accountability and remembrance.
Today, the exhibition traces both breaks and continuities from the Weimar Republic through the Nazi dictatorship and into the post war period. Using documents, photographs and media stations, it examines how democratic institutions could be undermined so rapidly, how authorities and individuals became involved in state violence, and how the role and self understanding of the police shifted across dictatorship and democracy. The exhibition also preserves personal traces from the site, including inscriptions left by prisoners and objects that reflect the repression of everyday life and youth culture at the time.
As part of our visit, we will take part in a 1.5 hour guided tour titled Police and Genocide in Europe. The tour starts at 1 PM and looks at the role of the Württemberg Gestapo and Criminal Police in the persecution and deportation of Jews as well as Sinti and Roma from Württemberg and Hohenzollern, and at how staff connected to Hotel Silber were deployed in other parts of Europe. It also explores individual responsibilities and the consequences for those who were targeted. The tour is designed to support learning and reflection in a respectful setting.
