Memorial Path Station: Gestapo Headquarters Bregenz

In Römerstraße 7 was located between 1938 and 1945 the Gestapo headquarters for Vorarlberg. Since a significant part of the Vorarlberg Gestapo work dealt with border security towards Switzerland, it was officially called "Border Commission Bregenz". In total, about 10,000 people were interrogated by the National Socialists up to the liberation, of whom approximately 6,000 were imprisoned in the prison in Bregenz's upper town. The site is part of a memorial trail, which since 2002 has been commemorating resistance and persecution in Bregenz with several memorial plaques.
