The former official prison in Hartum (Mindener Str. 440) was built in 1896. The one-storey brick building housed two functions inside: the official prison in the eastern part and the fire brigade equipment house in the western part. The prison wing consists of a transverse corridor with a guard room and two detention cells. The building was restored from 1992 by the Hartum local history association.

If there wasn't a conspicuous sign outside, you could easily drive past this little house. Then, if you look closely, you can see the barred windows.
