The presentation is only in German, however, the museum has a (free) booklet that you can walk around with that highlights the information in each room. We also used Google Translate on some information that was not in the booklet that we wanted to understand. The museum is free, definitely worth a visit and hopefully, soon, it will become more known about. While we were there, we saw, maybe, another 8 people. We viewed just about everything, so we were there over 2 1/2 hours. The staff of two men, on the day we were there, were helpful and friendly. One of them stated he had lived in Dortmund for 30 years and didn't know this place existed until he went to work there. We've been in Dortmund at least 10 times and didn't know this existed either. The entrance is behind Steinstrasse, through the courtyard on the left, right behind the white gate wall.

Please understand that it is difficult to rate a place that has a horrific history, as excellent. This is based on the presentation u0026 encounters with staff.

Very interesting to visit. Sadly, the information is only in German. It’s free to visit. I recommend dropping by. There is no visit fee. The entrance is in the back of the building.

An interesting former Gestapo museum. Small but interesting. Exhibitions only in German language. Very hard to find, behind hbf, but front entrance still hard to locate (in a courtyard behind white gates

Very good historical place to visit. Nice staff. Lots of pictures, objects and the building itself shows the horror of nazism.

Very interesting, despite the fact that most of the exhibition is in German, there is a guide in English.
There are some amazing historical artifacts.
Entry is free.
Worth visiting
