Former quarters of feared Nazi Secret Police now popular nightlife complex
The building now housing Rick's was during World War II the quarters of the Gestapo and the Sicherheitspolitzei in the Nazi occupied Bergen. There were prison cells in both the basement and the building's top floor. Several prisoners comitted suicide by jumping out the windows on the 5th and 6th floor so that the Nazis could not torture them into revealing any secrets of the resistance, and a number of those not taking their own life died from the treatment they received during interrogations. The open place by the entrance to Rick's has a monument in memorial of those who lost their life. This has been the subject of repeated discussions in the local media due to a request from the owners of Rick's to use some of the area to serve alcohol.
