Germany Student Prison

The University of Heidelberg has a long tradition as a centre of learning, but students at the 500-year-old uni have often taken the view that "All work and no play makes Hans a dull boy." As long ago as the 16th Century, citizen complaints about carousing students led the university to open a Studentenkarzer, or Student Prison, where academic miscreants were kept off the streets for three days to four weeks at a time.

Photography Tips

You should bring your ultra-wide angle lens since the rooms are small. I used a 24mm full frame lens but ı needed to make a panorama from 4-5 photos.

Travel Information

You can park anywhere in the city centre and walk there.

The Studentenkarzer is open most days except Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (4 p.m. from October through March). Tickets are inexpensive, and entrance is free with the Heidelberg Card. Buy your ticket at the University Museum in the Alte Universitäte on Grabengasse, then walk around the block to the Student Prison.
