history

Today's Rothenfeld branch served as a women's prison for adult prisoners until March 10, 1966, and then as an institution for female juvenile prisoners. After laying the women in the prison Aichach , Rothenfeld was to release prisoners Institute transformed the Landsberg prison.

prehistory

The area on which the Rothenfeld JVA stands today was bought in 1474 as a wasteland by the Andechs monastery under Abbot Stöcklin. The buildings erected on it were robbed and burned down by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War in 1632.

In 1705 the Lords of Andechs built a new summer residence. The basic shape of the house was already the same as it is today. From 1803, Rothenfeld passed through several hands in the course of secularization during the following century and was used, among other things, to breed mushrooms and horses. The Andechs Monastery bought Rothenfeld back in 1905 and established an educational institution for 130 boys between the ages of 9 and 18, the so-called Gregorius Educational Institution. The first abbot at that time was Gregor Danner .

Today's plant

From 1907 to 1910 the new building was in the style of a pavilion, living groups with 12 to 15 pupils each were set up. In 1933, under Abbot Wöhrmüller, the complex - without its forests - was sold to the Redemptorist order . It became a college for 40 to 60 clerics and had to be ceded to the state for 65,000 Reichsmarks as early as 1937 after the Redemptorist Order was sentenced for alleged foreign currency smuggling. A year later it was used as a prison for the first time. After being converted, it was used as a women's prison for around 370 prisoners, which in turn became a women's youth prison just five years later.

In 1965 agriculture and forestry were placed under the Landsberg prison, and one year later the previously independent Rothenfeld prison was converted into a Landsberg branch. From 1968 until the criminal law reform in 1977, Rothenfeld then served as a men's prison for traffic offenses.

With an expansion in 1972, Rothenfeld became the central training center for mechanical engineers. A year later, on March 18, 1973, the cattle barn burned down and was rebuilt in 1976. This was followed in 1982 by the construction of a new company (Csongradi) at the Rothenfeld location. In 1985 a prisoner house for 31 prisoners was built, followed by further renovation work in the main house by 1988. Work therapy (LF - living group with 12 prisoners) has been set up in Rothenfeld since 1995.
