You're standing at the former headquarters of the Stasi, in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg. This is Ruschestraße, just off Frankfurter Allee, where East Germany's Ministry for State Security had its base. Take a look around. From these buildings, the secret police of the GDR kept watch on their own citizens.
