history

In 1959, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia announced a competition for the construction of a new prison building in Rochusstrasse in the Ossendorf district of Cologne. The winners of the competition were Prof. Fritz Jaenecke, architect, and Erich Heyne, engineer, as well as the Swedish architect Sten Samuelsen.

The foundation stone for the new JVA, which was to be built as the successor to the old prison on Gereonswall, was laid on November 3, 1961; At 25 hectares, the area was about ten times the size of the old prison building in downtown Cologne. After a general freeze on public buildings from 1960 to 1963, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on December 7, 1966, and the first prisoners arrived in November 1968. In March 1969 the women's shelters were occupied and in May 1969 the new penal institution was completed and officially opened.
