Rottweil's new prison: Construction site attracts spectators in droves!

near Rottweil is one of the most expensive correctional facilities in Germany. The construction of the new prison started in June 2023 and is scheduled to be completed by 2027. The meter -high walls have already been built, while the rest of the buildings take shape. This is necessary because the existing institutions in Rottweil and Waldshut-Tiengen are overloaded, such as Michaela Hornung, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Finance Baden-Württemberg. The new institution creates space for up to 502 inmates, including prisoners from several surrounding districts, including Freiburg and Stuttgart. This measure serves to relieve over -occupied correctional facilities in the region, such as Black Forest reported.

innovative and sustainable construction

The new prison should not only be functional, but also climate -friendly. The use of a photovoltaic system with 1.8 megawatts is planned to cover a large part of the electricity requirement. A draft of the Ministry of Finance shows that recycled concrete is used, wherever possible to build more environmentally friendly. In particular, the impressive 160,000 cubic meters of excavation material should be reused, which will save around 16,000 truck trips to landfills, such as the Schwäbische reported.

citizens were very interested in the project. A viewpoint near the construction site attracts many visitors who want to find out more about progress. After completion, the prison will also offer work and meeting places and create new jobs in the regional environment. A total of 276 new positions are planned, primarily in the enforcement service and in various supporting areas.
