In the asylum there are various companies in which the prisoners work: electrical workshop, gardening, carpenter's shop, locksmith's shop, building maintenance, molded stone construction and kitchen.

history

Almost six months after the outbreak of the First World War , the number of prisoners of war made on the German side had risen considerably. This also prompted the army command to build the "Staumühle camp" for prisoners of war within their military training area, six kilometers from the village of Sennelager . Some of the materials required to build the camp were transported to Staumühle by the prisoners of war under very difficult conditions. Little by little , a small settlement of barracks arose , which not only served as accommodation for prisoners of war from Belgium, England, France and Russia, but also for soldiers of the reserve infantry regiments 255 and 256. There was also a living area for officer cadets . Although the First World War was officially ended by the armistice on November 14, 1918, the accommodations in the camp were still inhabited by troop members until 1919. After that, the barracks remained locked for a long time and the Staumühle camp seemed to have been forgotten.

In 1925 the founder of the German Youth Hostel Association , Richard Schirrmann , who needed furnishings for his youth hostels, came to Staumühle as part of his purchases. The plan matured in him to set up a children's village here. This is how the “Staumühle Children's Village” was created on the site of the former troop area and prisoner of war camp, where almost 6,500 children from the then occupied Ruhr area found relaxation. This “Youth Recreation in the Staumühle Children's Village” campaign ended in 1931.

In the same year, preparatory work for a voluntary labor service for unemployed young men began in Germany . This voluntary labor service was set up jointly by the then director of the Bethel Institutions, Friedrich von Bodelschwingh, and the diocesan association of the Catholic workers' associations in Paderborn. Over 1800 young men found work and accommodation in Staumühle. Staumühle became known as a model warehouse throughout Germany. However, this voluntary labor service had to be dissolved after the NSDAP came to power in January 1933, as the former area of ​​the military training area was used again.

After 1933, a district driving school and a military sports facility were set up on the Staumühler site . After 1935, the troops' quarters were expanded. The two double barracks, which still serve as detention centers today, also date from this time. The supply buildings such as the kitchen, the infirmary and the infirmary have also remained in a former supply wing and are still used for the prison area.

During the Second World War the area was used again as a prisoner of war camp. Soldiers of all kinds of weapons were constantly stationed in Staumühle. This prisoner-of-war camp was closed when British troops marched in in May 1945. After the collapse of the Third Reich, a camp for displaced persons and then the Staumühle internment camp for suspected war criminals, NSDAP officials and state officials was built at the same location . This camp was the largest internment camp of the British Army of the Rhine . A large number of barracks were also set up. At times up to 12,000 men and women were housed in the internment area. This internment camp was dissolved in July 1948.

The entire complex, including the existing inventory, was handed over to the judicial administration of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia with the condition that an open juvenile detention center was set up based on the tried and tested model of the English Borstals . In a German-English collaboration, the open penal institution for young prisoners, the "Staumühle camp near Paderborn", which is known today as the Hövelhof correctional facility, was created in just a few months.
