The Stasi and the Berlin Wall | DW Documentary
For one group, at least, the erection of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961 was a stroke of luck. Over the following decades, the Wall would be the lifeblood of the East German secret police, known as the Stasi. By the time the Wall fell, in 1989, thousands of Stasi agents were employed with a single goal: to make the Wall insurmountable.
The film tells the story of this existentially symbiotic relationship from the perspective of the Stasi under its notorious leader Erich Mielke. It’s the first time this most sensitive chapter of East Germany's history has been told in such an exemplary and coherent way: including the deaths that took place at the Wall, and the cover-up and concealment of many of those murders.
We learn about the arrests and imprisonment of tens of thousands of refugees...

Targeted by the Stasi: revisiting the past | DW Documentary
The Stasi spied on Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber for years - after they applied to go to the West. Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, they both look back at their Stasi files.
The Stasi files of Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber include intercepted letters, official documents and countless reports by spies who meticulously noted everything about their lives, including the turning on and off of lights. When Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber, who were both ordinary typists at Neues Deutschland - the official newspaper of the Socialist Unity Party - applied to leave the GDR, it was considered scandalous. They were ostracized at work, threatened and subjected to interrogations that lasted hours. What did the experience do to them? How do they look back on that time today? A report by Axe...

The Stasi: The Most Terrifying Secret Police in the Eastern Bloc

PayPal: [email protected]
The darkest symbol of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is the Stasi, the omnipotent Ministry for State Security. In 1989, the secret police service of a country with a population of only 16 million people employed 91 thousand full-time employees - not counting the "unofficial" Stasi workers. The later, according to various estimates, numbered from 200 thousand to 2 million. The Stasi was modeled after the Soviet NKVD but quickly surpassed it in the sophistication of its methods.
In the new episode of “How It Was,” we will recall the history of the most effective intelligence service in the Eastern Bloc. You will learn how spies from the GDR infiltrated the upper echelons of power in the neighb...

Watch Former Stasi Agents Defend Their Deeds
Stasiland (2006): Everyone knows about the Nazi camps of Auschwitz and Dachau. But few are aware of the systemic oppression that went on under the Stasi. Now some ex-Stasi agents are trying to re-write history.
For downloads and more information visit http://journeyman.tv/57040/short-films/stasiland.html
"I won't apologise for anything. I can only apologise for not having worked more efficiently", states former Stasi spy Peter Wolter. He maintains that the thousands of people tortured and imprisoned were; "quite rightly punished". Along with other ex-agents, Wolter is campaigning to have a museum documenting the suffering of prisoners in Stasi prisons closed. As Anna Funder, author of 'Stasiland' states; "these were people writing doctoral theses on how to destroy a soul". Now thousands...

Im Visier der Stasi | Terra X
Der Staatssicherheitsdienst in der ehemaligen DDR ist einer der erfolgreichsten Geheimdienste der Welt. Die „Stasi“ soll die DDR am Leben halten und das eigene Volk kontrollieren und beeinflussen. Es entwickelt sich ein Überwachungsapparat, der in alle Lebensbereiche der DDR-Bürger eingreift. Kein anderes Volk in Europa wird damals so kontrolliert und überwacht. Hunderttausende Menschen werden bespitzelt und bedroht.
Vor allem die Kirchen hat man im Visier. Die christliche Botschaft wird als Konkurrenz zur sozialistischen Ideologie gesehen. Geistliche werden daher hartnäckig observiert. Einer von ihnen ist Markus Meckel. Der Pastor engagiert sich in der Friedensbewegung, wird umfassend observiert und sogar mit veröffentlichten Nacktbildern rufgeschädigt. Doch Meckel bleibt politisch akti...

Die Stasi und ihre Methoden | DDR | Geschichte
Die Staatssicherheit, kurz Stasi, sorgte in der DDR für Angst und Schrecken. Innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte baute sie einen Überwachungsapparat auf, der bis in das intimste Privatleben der Bürger hineinreichte. Niemand konnte sich sicher fühlen, auch nicht vor Freunden oder Familienmitgliedern. Was war das für eine Institution, die die Menschen derart im Griff hatte? Und mit welchen Methoden arbeitete sie? Darum geht es in diesem Video.

For one group, at least, the erection of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961 was a stroke of luck. Over the following decades, the Wall would be the lifeblood of the East German secret police, known as the Stasi. By the time the Wall fell, in 1989, thousands of Stasi agents were employed with a single goal: to make the Wall insurmountable.
The film tells the story of this existentially symbiotic relationship from the perspective of the Stasi under its notorious leader Erich Mielke. It’s the first time this most sensitive chapter of East Germany's history has been told in such an exemplary and coherent way: including the deaths that took place at the Wall, and the cover-up and concealment of many of those murders.
We learn about the arrests and imprisonment of tens of thousands of refugees, as well as the Stasi’s elaborate construction of tunnels and underground listening stations to track down tunnel diggers. From the billion-dollar business of selling GDR prisoners to West Germany, to the "filtering" of Western traffic at border crossings to recruit unofficial collaborators, Mielke's specialists were everywhere.
We see how Mielke's power grew, as the Wall and the border system were perfected, and how the walling-in of the population created more and more work for the Stasi. The Wall became the Stasi’s main field of activity, and its daily bread.
The fall of the Wall brought an abrupt end to both East Germany and its security apparatus. An irony of history is that, on November 9, 1989, it was a Stasi man who opened the first barrier on Bornholmer Strasse and thus initiated the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Stasi spied on Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber for years - after they applied to go to the West. Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, they both look back at their Stasi files.
The Stasi files of Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber include intercepted letters, official documents and countless reports by spies who meticulously noted everything about their lives, including the turning on and off of lights. When Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber, who were both ordinary typists at Neues Deutschland - the official newspaper of the Socialist Unity Party - applied to leave the GDR, it was considered scandalous. They were ostracized at work, threatened and subjected to interrogations that lasted hours. What did the experience do to them? How do they look back on that time today? A report by Axel Rowohlt.

The darkest symbol of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is the Stasi, the omnipotent Ministry for State Security. In 1989, the secret police service of a country with a population of only 16 million people employed 91 thousand full-time employees - not counting the "unofficial" Stasi workers. The later, according to various estimates, numbered from 200 thousand to 2 million. The Stasi was modeled after the Soviet NKVD but quickly surpassed it in the sophistication of its methods.
In the new episode of “How It Was,” we will recall the history of the most effective intelligence service in the Eastern Bloc. You will learn how spies from the GDR infiltrated the upper echelons of power in the neighboring Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). How did the East German agent Gunther Guillaume ruin the career of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt? How did the almost permanent Stasi leader Erich Mielke develop a mass surveillance system in GDR? We will also recall what the Stasi had in common with the Palestine Liberation Organization and how the East German agents used gaslighting to neutralize dissidents.

Stasiland (2006): Everyone knows about the Nazi camps of Auschwitz and Dachau. But few are aware of the systemic oppression that went on under the Stasi. Now some ex-Stasi agents are trying to re-write history.
For downloads and more information visit http://journeyman.tv/57040/short-films/stasiland.html
"I won't apologise for anything. I can only apologise for not having worked more efficiently", states former Stasi spy Peter Wolter. He maintains that the thousands of people tortured and imprisoned were; "quite rightly punished". Along with other ex-agents, Wolter is campaigning to have a museum documenting the suffering of prisoners in Stasi prisons closed. As Anna Funder, author of 'Stasiland' states; "these were people writing doctoral theses on how to destroy a soul". Now thousands of ordinary Germans who had their lives destroyed by the Stasi fear their suffering will be negated.

Der Staatssicherheitsdienst in der ehemaligen DDR ist einer der erfolgreichsten Geheimdienste der Welt. Die „Stasi“ soll die DDR am Leben halten und das eigene Volk kontrollieren und beeinflussen. Es entwickelt sich ein Überwachungsapparat, der in alle Lebensbereiche der DDR-Bürger eingreift. Kein anderes Volk in Europa wird damals so kontrolliert und überwacht. Hunderttausende Menschen werden bespitzelt und bedroht.
Vor allem die Kirchen hat man im Visier. Die christliche Botschaft wird als Konkurrenz zur sozialistischen Ideologie gesehen. Geistliche werden daher hartnäckig observiert. Einer von ihnen ist Markus Meckel. Der Pastor engagiert sich in der Friedensbewegung, wird umfassend observiert und sogar mit veröffentlichten Nacktbildern rufgeschädigt. Doch Meckel bleibt politisch aktiv und wird 1990 Außenminister der ersten frei gewählten Regierung der DDR.
Im Zusammenhang mit der Friedensbewegung der 80er Jahre in der DDR geraten auch kritische Frauen ins Visier. Die Mitglieder der Gruppe „Frauen für den Frieden“ lehnen den Militärdienst für Frauen ab. Sie machen sich keine Illusionen und wissen, dass sie kontrolliert und abgehört werden. Doch die „Stasi“ bespitzelt in der DDR sogar mit Agenten, die Liebesbeziehungen mit Frauen eingehen, nur um an Informationen zu gelangen - die sogenannte „Romeo-Falle“.
Die schnappt nicht nur bei Frauen zu. Auch homosexuelle Ost-Bürger sollen für die Stasi in der Szene von Ostberlin internationale Diplomaten und Offiziere ausspionieren, die hoffen, dort unerkannt feiern zu können. Auf diese Weise will die Stasi auch an Informationen aus Westdeutschland gelangen. Wer wie der Ost-Berliner Mario Röllig die Mitarbeit ablehnt, muss weitreichende Konsequenzen für sein Privatleben befürchten, die bis zu einer Inhaftierung führen können.

Die Staatssicherheit, kurz Stasi, sorgte in der DDR für Angst und Schrecken. Innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte baute sie einen Überwachungsapparat auf, der bis in das intimste Privatleben der Bürger hineinreichte. Niemand konnte sich sicher fühlen, auch nicht vor Freunden oder Familienmitgliedern. Was war das für eine Institution, die die Menschen derart im Griff hatte? Und mit welchen Methoden arbeitete sie? Darum geht es in diesem Video.
