Background
Hamelin Prison, also known as the Stockhof, was a prison and penitentiary in Hamelin. The penal institution, which had a predecessor since 1698, existed from 1827 to 1980. It was located between the old town and the river Weser. After the Second World War, it was the site of executions carried out by the occupying British forces. The listed prison buildings are now used as a hotel.
