Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Flagpoles bearing the flags of the United Nations (UN), Arkivet, the Flexid Foundation, Save the Children (Norwegian: Redd Barna), and the Norwegian Red Cross (Røde Kors) wave outside Arkivet ("The Archives"), a yellow brick building dating back to 1935 in the city of Kristiansand, Norway, overlooking E18/E39, the Vesterbrua/Gartnerløkka bridge, etc.
  • The Norwegian State Archives in Kristiansand served as the regional headquarters for the Gestapo in Southern Norway from 1942 to 1945, during the German occupation of the country in World War II. In 2001, the location was transformed into a museum, and today, Arkivet stands as a center for peace and human rights.
  • ARKIVET Peace and Human Rights Centre: The Regional State Archives in Kristiansand opened in 1935. When the Nazis arrived in 1940, the Archives' new building was taken over by the German military and later their Security Police. After the war, the Regional State Archives returned and remained until 1997. After extensive restoration, a center for history communication and peace building opened in 2001. A connected structure, a substantial addition with a café, a lecture hall, and more, opened in 2018.
Norsk bokmål: Flaggstenger med vaiende flagg for De forente nasjoner (FN), Arkivet, Stiftelsen Flexid, Redd Barna og Røde Kors utenfor Arkivet, en gul murbygning fra 1935 i Vesterveien 4 rett utenfor Kristiansand sentrum, med utsikt mot veier, jernbanespor ved havneområdet i byen, blant annet E18/E39 og Vesterbrua (Gartnerløkka bro). Statsarkivet i Kristiansand var Gestapos hovedkvarter på Sørlandet under den tyske okkupasjonen av Norge under andre verdenskrig. I 2001 åpnet Arkivet som museum, og et utvidet anlegg er i dag freds- og menneskerettighetssenter.
Statsarkivet i Kristiansand ble offisielt åpnet 8. mars 1935. Murbygget i Vesterveien 4 ligger i et villastrøk på Bellevue rett utenfor Kristiansand sentrum. (...) Statsarkivet ble okkupert av tyskerne 10. april 1940, og dette året holdt tyske luftvernssoldater til i bygningen. Den ble frigitt igjen i desember samme år, og snart startet ordinær virksomhet opp igjen. Fra 1942 til 1945 fungerte bygningen som politistasjon for det tyske sikkerhetspolitiet. Det ble innredet celler og torturkammer i det som tidligere hadde vært et statsarkiv. Etter krigen flyttet Statsarkivet etterhvert inn igjen. De holdt til i huset frem til 1997.
Etter omfattende restaurering ble senter for historieformidling og fredsbygging åpnet 8. mai 2001. Et moderne tilbygg, med kafé, foredragssal med mer, åpnet 1. februar 2018. Ved hovedinngangen er et minnested med blant annet en minnebauta.
