Justizvollzugsanstalt Aichach

The Justizvollzugsanstalt Aichach is a correctional facility in Bavaria with separate wings for male and female inmates. The grounds contain various functional areas designed to support daily prison operations and inmate housing.

The facility was built between 1904 and 1908, opening in 1909 initially for female Catholic inmates. During World War II, the site served as a significant regional correctional institution.

The chapel on the grounds shows neo-gothic design and serves as a place where inmates gather for religious observance and spiritual reflection. This shared space holds significance as a center for faith-based community moments throughout the year.

The facility is accessible only during specific visiting times and visitors should check ahead about which areas can be entered. The location is easy to reach by public transport and sits centrally in Aichach.

The grounds offer inmates opportunities for various activities and programs including theater groups and sports to support their reintegration. Notably, there is a dedicated mother-and-child unit located within the facility.
