Munich Prison, Correctional facility in Giesing district, Munich, Germany.

Munich Prison is a correctional facility in the Giesing district that spreads across a large site with multiple interconnected buildings. The complex can hold approximately 2,100 inmates and includes various structures designed around security and operational requirements.

The prison was established in 1894 as a major correctional institution in southern Bavaria. Between 1933 and 1945 it became an execution site where more than 1,000 people were put to death.

The facility reflects how the German correctional system organizes and separates different groups of people in its daily operations. Visitors can observe the structure that determines how various categories of prisoners experience life here.

The site is located on Stadelheimer Straße in southern Munich and is accessible by standard transportation. Visits require advance planning as this is a secure facility, and you should check current access conditions before arrival.

A particular cell within the complex held two historically significant people at different points in time, creating an unexpected link across decades. This connection makes that space notable for those interested in the building's past.
