The Stasimuseum (also known in German as the Forschungs- und Gedenkstätte Normannenstraße) [2] is a research and memorial centre concerning the political system of the former East Germany.

The Ministry for State Security (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, pronounced [minɪsˈteːʁiʊm fyːɐ̯ ˈʃtaːtsˌzɪçɐhaɪ̯t]; abbreviated MfS), commonly known as the Stasi (pronounced [ˈʃtaːziː] ⓘ, an abbreviation of Staatssicherheit), was the state security service and secret police of East Germany from 1950 to 1990.

The Stasimuseum is located in House 1 on the former grounds of the headquarters of the GDR Ministry for State Security (MfS). The building was erected in 1960/61 as the official residence of Erich Mielke, who served as Minister for State Security from 1957 to 1989.
