Establishment choice: Hotel or dining spot?
The historic former Braunschweig-Rennelberg Justice Prison, completed in 1884 and vacated in May 2024, is now up for sale. The Lower Saxony State Office for Construction and Real Estate has announced the sale of the prison on popular real estate portals, with a starting price of 3.6 million euros.
The approximately 13,400 square meter area of the former prison is situated about 1.5 kilometers west of Brunswick city center and includes sports facilities in addition to the former detention center. Prospective buyers must submit a usage concept for the former prison, outlining their plans for its future, and prove the financial feasibility of their proposal.
Inappropriate uses, such as a gaming hall or a brothel, are excluded for the former prison's future use. Instead, potential uses could include a restaurant, small businesses, art and cultural facilities, a hotel or hostel, creation of apartments, and new buildings. The historic prison walls must remain recognizable in their structure, even if they are demolished.
Despite the interested party who wishes to purchase the former prison remaining unnamed in the provided search results, the sale of this historic site presents an exciting opportunity for its new owners to reimagine its purpose and contribute to the vibrancy of Brunswick's urban landscape.
