Landsberg Prison
Landsberg Prison
is a penal facility located at the town of
Landsberg am Lech
in the SW of the German state of
Bavaria
, about 30 mi (45 km) W of
Munich
. It was originally constructed in
1910
within the walls of the town's medieval fortress. Its most noted inmate was
Adolf Hitler
, who was incarcerated there in
1924
after his conviction on a charge of
treason
. It was during his imprisonment at Landsberg that Hitler dictated much of his book
Mein Kampf
(
My Struggle
) to his deputy,
Rudolf Hess
. During the occupation of
Germany
by the Allies after
World War II
, the
US Army
designated the
prison
as "War Criminal Prison No. 1"

and held many convicted
Nazi
war criminals there. A number of executions of war criminals were also conducted at Landsberg. The last of these executions occurred on

and were the last executions conducted within the Federal Republic of Germany, then commonly known as
West Germany
. The facility is now maintained by the Prison Service of the Bavarian Ministry of Justice.
