The Berlin office Heinle, Wischer und Partner wins the competition for the documentation and visitors' center.
Between 1933 and 1945, the central institutions responsible for the repressive and criminal policies of National Socialism were located on the terrain of the Topography of Terror, situated between Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse (today Niederkirchnerstrasse), Wilhelmstrasse and Anhalter Strasse.
In 1993, the architectural competition was won by the design of Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. However, the project was cancelled due to technical and financial reasons.
