Altstrelitzer Gefängnis
Altstrelitzer Gefängnis, Prison complex in Strelitz-Alt, Germany
The Altstrelitzer Gefängnis consists of multiple buildings, including the main prison house and an administrative building located at the edge of Neustrelitz.
Duke Karl II of Mecklenburg-Strelitz ordered the construction of this facility in 1805 on the former grounds of a residence palace that burned down in 1712.
The complex served different purposes throughout its history, functioning as a workhouse, correctional facility, and mental institution until the psychiatric patients relocated in 1902.
Following its closure in 2001, the prison house and administrative building received protection status as architectural heritage monuments in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The Soviet NKVD operated the facility as Prison Number 5 Strelitz after World War II until 1947, when German administration resumed control.
