Landsberg Prison, Correctional facility in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.
The prison consists of four brick cell blocks arranged in a cross shape with an Art Nouveau facade designed by architect Hugo von Höfl.
The facility served as War Criminal Prison No. 1 from 1945 to 1951, where more than 252 war criminals faced execution following the Nuremberg trials.
The prison maintains rehabilitation programs, offering inmates opportunities to learn trades such as baking, carpentry, and electrical work through vocational training courses.
The facility spans six hectares with a capacity of 565 inmates in the main building and additional spaces in external units at Rothenfeld and Landsberg.
During his 264-day confinement in 1924, Adolf Hitler dictated his manuscript to Rudolf Hess while serving time for his participation in the Beer Hall Putsch.
