Detention building (Cuxhaven)
The detention building , formerly a gunsmith's shop , in Cuxhaven , Kasernenstrasse 8, is a Lower Saxony monument and is included in the list of architectural monuments in Cuxhaven .
history
In 1892 it was decided to set up a naval garrison in Cuxhaven. After that, after provisional accommodation in barracks ( sea dike barracks or, ironically, “board barracks ”), the various buildings of the Grimmershörn barracks in Grimmershörnbucht were built for the naval base in Cuxhaven from 1903 to 1914 .
The two-storey plastered building with a central gable risalit was originally built as a gunsmith's shop . In 1914 it was converted into a building for the execution of criminal arrest . The house was also used as a guard building. In 2013 the bars on the windows of the holding cells were removed. In the past, blinds could be used to obtain dark detention; the panels and panel hooks were still in place around 2012.
