history

In the early 1990s, the Free State decided to replace the two existing prisons in Augsburg with a modern new building. After many years of searching and difficult negotiations, a plot of land at the former Gablingen airfield was acquired in 1997 . In 2004, a winning design was then selected in an architectural competition and planning began afterwards.

The groundbreaking for the new building, which cost around 105 million euros, took place in April 2011. After four years of construction, the Bavarian Justice Minister Winfried Bausback finally opened the Augsburg-Gablingen correctional facility on October 26, 2015. The first prisoners were transferred to the new institution on November 10, 2015.
