Will the prison be built in Weißenfels? – Will the municipality of Langendorf be overruled?


On June 19, 2025, the Weißenfels city council will decide on the amendment of the land use plan to allow the construction of a prison (Justizvollzugsanstalt).



The Langendorf municipal council voted 4 to 3 against a corresponding amendment to the land use plan. The question now is whether the city council will respect and accept this decision by the municipality. View the documents here

In the past, it was apparently customary for the city council not to oppose decisions made by municipalities. But that was then. Given the heated debate surrounding the prison in recent times, it cannot be ruled out that the city council will decide to amend the land use plan so that the prison can be built there – provided it is not ultimately realized in Halle-Tornau instead.

If the prison is built in Weißenfels, it will certainly be highly visible from the highway. Everyone coming to Weißenfels from the direction of the highway and Zeitz will likely see the prison as the city’s new “landmark.” The former shoe-manufacturing city of Weißenfels would then become the new “prison city” and would probably be frequently mentioned in the press when it comes to the accommodation of inmates.

Is that what people want? Is it beneficial for tourism and the city’s image?

The city council meeting will begin on June 19, 2025, at 5 p.m. in the council chamber at the monastery.
