About Das Kittchen

TIME TO CHANGE PERSPECTIVE

The Kittchen in Wismar was opened as a hostel in June 2024.
 
The history of this extraordinary location dates back to 1872 and is divided into two areas.
The modern cell area:
The modern cell area is a completely new building. The poorhouse of the city of Wismar used to stand on this site. Due to its dilapidation, it was demolished very early on and remained a "green field" until the end.
 
The historic cell area:
 
The building was built in 1872 as Stallion stable and was then converted into a prison over the years.
In history, it was then used for various inmates. The records show that there were also already, when was used as a women's prison. During the Nazi era, the prison was to be enlarged, the plan was not realized, however, as the end of the war probably contributed to the end of planning.
 
During the East German era, the prison was used for fugitives from the republic, among others. used, which wanted to flee across the Baltic Sea.
 
The building was used as a remand prison until 1992 and was then used as a youth detention center until 2014.
 
In our cells, we try to give them an understanding of history using pictures, a small timeline and various quotes.
 
The original cell doors, the bars in front of the upper cell windows and the original cell sizes can still be found in the historic cell area.
The tiled floor was modeled on the floor of that time and we also used an original staircase from the prison era for the stairs in the historic cell area.
 
We were therefore able to make a "unique piece" out of each of our cells and are delighted us when our guests take a piece of history with them from their stay in Wismar.
