EL-DE Haus

Why go

The building connects the history of National Socialism in Cologne with physical evidence left by people imprisoned there. The cells make the material personal, while the permanent exhibition supplies the wider city context. Allow attention and time rather than folding this into a hurried sequence of conventional sightseeing stops.

What to look for

• Prisoners' inscriptions remain on the walls of the former cells.
• The permanent exhibition traces Cologne under National Socialism.
• The former house prison is preserved as a memorial within the museum.

Useful to know

• Allow an unhurried visit for the cells and the permanent exhibition.
• If step-free entry matters, consult the museum's access guidance before visiting.
