Gefängnis Rummelsburg, Former workhouse and prison in Rummelsburg, Berlin, Germany.
The complex consists of nineteen red brick buildings arranged along the Friedrich-Jacobs-Promenade, featuring high walls and multiple detention structures.
Built between 1877 and 1879 by architect Hermann Blankenstein, the facility initially served as a workhouse for homeless individuals and minor offenders.
The site includes 21 information panels that present personal stories and historical documentation about the different periods of the institution's operation.
Visitors can access the memorial site through public transportation and use a dedicated mobile application that provides guided tours in German and English.
The facility transformed from a workhouse into East Berlin's central men's prison, where thousands of prisoners were held until German reunification in 1990.
