Justizvollzugsanstalt Regensburg, Correctional facility in Regensburg, Germany.

The Justizvollzugsanstalt Regensburg is a Neo-Renaissance brick building constructed between 1900 and 1902, distinguished by symmetrical wings and a central administrative section. The facility is divided into separate areas for male and female inmates and holds a total capacity of approximately 190 spaces.

Built by the Kingdom of Bavaria between 1900 and 1902, the prison opened on 1 April 1902 as the Landgerichtsgefängnis, mainly holding remand prisoners of the Regensburg regional court. During the Nazi period, 244 Regensburg Jews were temporarily imprisoned here after the November pogroms of 10 November 1938, and 15 of them were deported to Dachau the next day.

The facility functions as a workplace where inmates develop practical skills through workshop activities. This work ties daily life inside to economic activity that extends beyond the prison walls.

The location is easily accessible by public transport and sits in central Regensburg. Visitors should be aware that this is an active correctional facility with limited public access.

From 1902 to 1945 and again from 1957 to 1977 the prison was administratively under the Regensburg public prosecutor's office, an arrangement the source calls organisationally unique. It became independent in 1977 under the penal execution law. Its current full-time director is Veronika Retzbach.
