3 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Low, spreading complex
The memorial is a low, wide site rather than a tall building, so it prints quickly at the default size. A larger print keeps the separate buildings and small windows easier to read.
- Rows of small windows
Small windows and long flat walls are the finest details on a prison site like this. Print friendly adapts the smallest of them to the print scale; layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the rows crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial takes the building color.
- File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial
The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial occupies a former prison site in Berlin's Lichtenberg district, specifically the Alt-Hohenschönhausen locality. It is both a museum and a memorial, and it began welcoming the public in 1994. The prison had been the main political jail of East Germany's Ministry of State Security, better known as the Stasi. Demonstrators did not storm this site when the Berlin Wall came down, which let prison authorities destroy evidence of what had happened there. For that reason, knowledge of how the prison worked rests largely on eyewitness accounts and on documents from other East German institutions.
A red-brick structure finished in 1939 came first; it had held a factory that made supplies for soup kitchens. The Soviet NKVD took the site over in June 1945 and made it a detention and transit camp, Special Camp No. 3, through which more than 20,000 people passed. The Stasi reopened the prison in 1951 and put up a new block holding 200 cells and interrogation rooms toward the end of the 1950s. After the Wall went up in 1961, most inmates were people who wanted to flee East Germany, although political prisoners were held too. The prison shut on October 3, 1990.
Former inmates founded the memorial in the early 1990s, and the prison gained listed status as a historical site in 1992. Its first visitors came in 1994. The site featured in several screen productions, among them the 2006 feature film The Lives of Others, the 2017 series The Same Sky, Deutschland 86 (an Amazon Prime series from 2018) and The Defeated (2020).
About this model
The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is one of more than 4,400 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
