Gefängnis, Historical prison in Peitz, Germany

The prison is a correctional facility in Peitz with buildings constructed from red brick in the 1920s. The compound includes workshops for metalwork and carpentry along with a garden area, all organized within surrounding walls.

The facility was established in the 1920s as a modern correctional institution and underwent various changes under different German government systems. These periods shaped how the institution operated and its role over the decades.

The place shows how correctional facilities looked and functioned in Brandenburg during that era. The red brick buildings reflect the construction methods and thinking about prisoner management of that time.

The buildings can be viewed from outside, though visitors should check in advance about any guided tours or access to specific areas. The facility is located centrally in Peitz and is easy to reach.

A remarkably preserved section includes a vehicle repair workshop where mechanical work has been conducted for many years. This specialized space shows how practical skills were taught and applied within the institution.
