An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

EL-DE Haus, officially the NS Documentation Center of the City of Cologne, located in Cologne, is the former headquarters of the Gestapo and now a museum documenting the Third Reich. The building was at first the business premises of jeweller Leopold Dahmen, and the building takes its name from his initials. In 1934, the Nazis rented the building from him and turned it into the headquarters of the secret police, the Gestapo. Surprisingly, the building survived the Allied bombing of Cologne during World War II, while 90% of the city was destroyed. After the bombings, the basements of the building, which had been used as prison cells and torture rooms for forced labourers and political enemies, were used to store wartime files and paperwork. Inscriptions made on the walls of the prison cell

Inscriptions made on the walls of the prison cells by inmates can still be viewed today. The building was the site of many executions, as well as deaths due to overcrowding and poor hygienic conditions. In 2006, the Documentation Centre on National Socialism was awarded the award, which is given to select museums. The only other German museum to have won the prize is the in Lübeck. (en)
  • La maison EL-DE (en allemand : EL-DE-Haus) est une ancienne prison de la Gestapo, située dans le centre-ville Nord de Cologne, qui devint entre 1935 et 1945 l'incarnation de la terreur du régime nazi. Kurt Lischka en a été le chef de janvier à juin 1940. L'appellation EL-DE lui vient des initiales du commerçant colognais Leopold Dahmen (L. D.).
