The Burg Prison PPP, located in Saxony-Anhalt, is the first availability based prison PPP project in Germany and one of only a few “real” PPP’s in the social accommodation sector in the country. It consists of the development, design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of a new maximum security penal institution. It is also one of Europe’s most secure and modern prisons. The operational period runs until April 2034.
The facility was constructed in less than 2.5 years on a turn-key basis and designed to house 650 male prisoners sentenced to two years or more. It has 4 accommodation units; a gatehouse/visitors’ area; a service centre with kitchen, health care unit and library; four workshops; a gymnasium and an outdoor sports area.
