Student jail from back then

The former student prison in Göttingen, now known as the Göttinger Karzer, tells stories of times past. Here, students used to be punished for misdemeanors of their time. In the narrow cells, you can still discover the traces of the students who spent their time in the Karzer. The walls are decorated with graffiti and give a glimpse of student life in the 18th and 19th centuries. A tour of the Göttingen Karzer allows you to dive into the past of the university city and learn more about the history of the students. The tour of the historic Karzer on Wilhelmsplatz is only possible during a guided tour of the city.
