Justizvollzugsanstalt Bernau am Chiemsee, Correctional facility in Bernau am Chiemsee, Germany
The Justizvollzugsanstalt Bernau am Chiemsee is a correctional facility in Bavaria comprising multiple brick buildings across extensive grounds. The complex accommodates approximately 910 inmates and includes various workshop areas, administrative buildings, and support facilities.
The facility was established in 1899 as a branch of Laufen Prison, with the main building completed in 1928. It developed connections to local infrastructure projects and later played a significant role during wartime conditions.
The correctional facility houses a museum dedicated to moorland and peat extraction in a converted workshop building, documenting the region's industrial heritage. Visitors can explore how this resource shaped local economic life and labor practices.
The facility includes various workshops such as a bakery, gardening operations, and tailoring services where inmates work during their detention. Keep in mind that this is an active correctional institution, and access may require prior arrangement or authorization.
From 1941 to 1945, the complex functioned as a penal camp housing prisoners from various European countries during World War II. This wartime chapter adds a complex historical dimension to the facility's broader story.
