Occupying the Stasi Headquarters

The dreaded Ministry for State Security (MfS) – popularly called the Stasi – was renamed Office for National Security (AfNS – Nasi) on 17 November 1989. Unlike all subordinate offices, the headquarters in East Berlin was able to continue operating unhindered up until January 1990. On 15 January demonstrators responded to New Forum’s call to brick up the entrances to the building in a symbolic act.
