Justizvollzugsanstalt Regensburg

The Justizvollzugsanstalt Regensburg stands as a Neo-Renaissance building constructed with red bricks, featuring symmetrical wings and a central administrative section.

Built between 1900 and 1902 under the Kingdom of Bavaria, this prison served as a county court detention center and housed political prisoners during World War II.

The prison maintains a workshop where inmates collaborate with external companies to manufacture small products, supporting rehabilitation through practical work experience.

The facility contains separate sections for male and female inmates, with 161 spaces designated for men and 27 for women, operating at an average occupancy of 154.

The prison structure received recognition as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, preserving its original design elements from the early 20th century construction.
