The author writes, panzeralarm.





In the summer I happened to visit a legendary place of the student city of Heidelberg - student jail (not the role of the prisoner's true, now that is not possible). It is located at the old university, on the third floor of the house, which is now a university shop.
Visitors are offered a brief applets, so before giving the floor to official sources, alternating with images of interiors students prisoners.



Trying to protect the wall paintings by contemporaries as employees in the museum there is hope for honesty and understanding that the old scribbles on the walls - it's history, and the new - just disgusting.



"From the very beginning of its existence, the University of Heidelberg has its own court. Violation of student life is not punished by the judicial authorities the city and the university itself. If peace officers were caught on the spot students 'crime', the latter should have to show student ID and name your address. Incidents reported to the university. Students called to the rector's office, listened to their explanations and to impose fines. The penalty was the conclusion often in student jailed - from 24 hours up to 4 weeks, depending on the "gravity" of the crime.

In the XIX century and up to 1914 (with the beginning of the First World War, the cooler closed) Finally, in a punishment cell for students was kind of fun. Do not go there at least once during their studies in Heidelberg does not even considered worthy of the title of the student. The main crimes were a violation of calm night loud singing in the alleys, bad behavior in public, due to excessive alcohol consumption, holding dueling - duels were strictly forbidden. A special treat for students gave the pen to let out at night in the courtyard of someone from the residents of the old city pig with piglets, and persecute them, grunting, the alleys. Very quickly you can get to the lock-up, hurt amtmana (so-called at the time a police officer), is proud to march in their uniforms on the street. It was enough to bring down his sword on his cap from his head to mimic or hurt - and you find yourself in a punishment cell. This was seen as an attack on state authority and punished four weeks of arrest.

Prison was here, on the third floor of the university guards, from 1712 until the First World War. Until that time, it was located in the Old University under the stairs to the second floor. It was later discovered that finding in solitary confinement is bad for health (causes colds), and the student prison was moved to her present whereabouts. On the first floor, where there was a lock-up, there was no water (it should be worn from the well in the courtyard), no kitchen. In the first two days of the conclusion given only bread and water. According to them after students can order food from outside. It allowed even beer. The rooms were simple hard beds with straw mattresses. For pillows, blankets and bed linen offenders had to pay all or bring.

The rest of the furniture and stools were one or two tables. Students are "cut" in the cards at the table, many of them scratch out their names.

Prisoners were allowed to visit each other and attend lectures by communicating with the building of the university door. Leaving the walls of the university were forbidden.

Most of his time prisoners spend on the "decoration" of corridors, walls and ceilings of rooms silhouettes of his classmates, emblems and monograms of their student unions (most of the students consisted of some association), dates of arrest and witty sayings.

For black ink used candle soot or ash furnace. Later, the students began to bring other paint. The prisoners are also allowed their photos to the "robes" (uniform appropriate to their student association) under the door glass. The room they gave their names: Solitude (fr. "Loneliness»), Palais Royal (French. "Royal Palace»), Sanssouci (the name of the royal residence in Potsdam - the letters. "Worry-free" (fr.)). "Hideaway" took the name of "Royal Throne».
