Justizvollzugsanstalt Glasmoor, Correctional facility and heritage monument in Norderstedt, Germany
The Justizvollzugsanstalt Glasmoor operates as an open prison with separate sections for male and female inmates, featuring a 22-meter central tower.
Established in 1922, the facility initially employed inmates for peat extraction, with a dedicated railway system built to transport the extracted materials.
The prison complex, designed by Fritz Schumacher in 1928, reflects progressive rehabilitation principles through its architectural layout without traditional prison walls.
The facility maintains 250 spaces, including 231 for men and 19 for women, with visiting hours scheduled on Saturdays between 13:00 and 16:00.
The Hamburg Prison Museum located within the facility presents exhibitions about incarceration history and allows public access through scheduled appointments.
