Roter Ochse, Prison and memorial in Halle (Saale), Germany.
The Roter Ochse prison exhibits red masonry walls and contains multiple cell blocks designed according to 19th-century correctional facility standards.
Established in 1842, this prison transformed from a Prussian correctional institution into a detention center during both World War II and the East German period.
The memorial section preserves documentation, photographs, and personal accounts from individuals who experienced confinement during different political regimes in Germany.
Guided tours of the memorial section occur Tuesday through Sunday, providing detailed information about the facility's operation across different historical periods.
The facility maintains both an active correctional center and a memorial space, creating an unusual intersection between current justice practices and historical preservation.
