On January 20th, 1942 Reinhard Heydrich, Head of the Reich Security Main Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt), chaired a meeting of high-ranking civil servants and SS-officers in this mansion.
As the decision to murder the European Jews had been made earlier the »Wannsee Conference« was concerned with the organisation and implementation of "The Final Solution", the decision to deport the Jews of Europe to the East and to murder them. The meeting has become known as the "Wannsee Conference". In 1947 the minutes of the Conference recorded by Adolf Eichmann were found in the files of the German Foreign Office.
