The Cottbus Penitentiary Memorial is located on a site that was continuously used as a detention facility from 1860 to 2002. Numerous people were imprisoned here for political reasons, particularly between 1933 and 1945 and between 1951 and 1989. Today, numerous permanent and special exhibitions, as well as a reconstructed cell block in a former detention center, provide insight into the history of the former prison. The outdoor area, with other former detention centers and work areas, invites independent exploration. Guided tours also include areas such as the former solitary confinement cells and detention centers. From https://www.menschenrechtszentrum-cottbus.de/gelaende/gedenkstaette/

There you can, for example, visit the pharmacy's office as a reflection of the first half of the 20th century. Visitors are also shown various poison cabinets from 200 years of pharmacy history. In the herbal shop you can not only buy chamomile, peppermint or sage - they also stock unusual types of tea and put together and send tea blends to suit your needs.
