Overview

• Lower Saxony’s real estate authority NLBL has opened registration for bidders on the decommissioned JVA Braunschweig-Rennelberg.
• The complex spans roughly 13,000 to 13,400 square meters with about 150 rooms or cells plus a chapel and sports areas.
• Permitted after-uses include gastronomy, small-business space, cultural uses, hotels or hostels, and housing, while a gambling hall or brothel is excluded.
• Historic structures must remain legible in any redevelopment, with the prison wall to be integrated into the overall design.
• The listing notes possible buried remains of a historic tunnel to the former Kreuzkloster on the grounds.
