Witt, 36, withdrew her legal objection to the release of 181 pages from her Stasi secret police file on Wednesday.
A native of Stakken, the superstar figure skater was granted a temporary injunction preventing their release by a Berlin court in February.
"Katarina Witt was observed and snooped on for years by the Stasi," confirmed Marianne Birthler, a former democracy activist currently overseeing the files.

"Voluminous documentation shows that."
Last year, Witt filed a lawsuit that successfully prevented the release of 1,300-plus pages to the press, citing a precedent-setting legal challenge from former Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
Kohl convincingly argued that he was a victim of the communist spy agency and illegal wiretaps, and his file was ordered sealed by the courts.
In March, a federal court upheld the Kohl ruling that victim confidentiality matters more than public disclosure of the file's contents to journalists and historians.
By withdrawing her complaint, Witt has essentially waived her right to victim protection.
Her lawyers were unavailable for comment.
Witt was one of a select few East German athletes granted special privileges, but emphatically denies working for the Stasi.
She is a two-time Olympic gold medallist (1984, 1988) and four-time world champion (1984-85, 1987-88).
Witt also won six straight European titles and eight consecutive national titles before turning pro following the 1988 Calgary Olympics.
