Geschichtspark Ehemaliges Zellengefängnis Moabit is a historical site in Berlin, Germany, commemorating the former Moabit Prison. This penitentiary, operational from the mid-19th century until its closure in 1955, played a significant role in Germany's tumultuous history. It was notorious for housing political prisoners during both World War I and World War II, including resistance fighters and dissenters against the Nazi regime. Today, the site has been transformed into a memorial park, preserving remnants of the prison's architecture alongside informative displays.
