One cool thing about living in Germany at the time was that they had much cooler Lego kits: Electric trains and Techniks. Stuff that didn't reach the US for years.
History
The Celler "Zuchthaus (jail)", as it is called in the colloquial language to this day, is regarded as the oldest prison in Germany still in function. Here, over three centuries, all the important phases of modern correctional system can be read conceptually and structurally. They range from the "Jailhouse" of the early 18th century to the "high-security tract" of the late 20th century. This can also be seen in the frequent name changes, a total of about ten times.
The prison was built between 1710 and 1724 as "workhouse, jail und madhouse". It was built in the French style by Johann Caspar Borchmann, the master builder of Duke Georg Wilhelm. At that time the institution lay still outside the city in the Westceller suburb. It was founded in order not to leave the prisoners to their destiny, but to educate them. This guiding principle, however, did not find any entrance into the Latin saying about the gate entrance "Puniendis facinorosis custodiendia furiosis et mente captis publico sumptu dicata domus" (to punish the evildoers, to guard the raving madmen and mentally ill from public resources erected house). The educational idea was an idea that had been implemented for the first time in Holland (Rasphuis Amsterdam). At that time the very different prisoners were still accommodated together in rooms.
In the historical inner courtyard of the building complex you can find the coat of arms of Chur-Hanover with the saying of the Order of the Garter "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (evil to him who evil thinks') and the motto of the English crown "Dieu et mon droit" (for God and my right). At the beginning of construction (1710), ruled George I Louis, Knight of the Order of the Garter, and later also King of Great Britain. In 1833, all mentally disordered people were transferred from the house to Hildesheim and the lawyer Georg Friedrich König from Osterode for free speech put in prison (the same house!). At the end of the 19th century, the institution was extended to the cell prison, the "isolation cell wing", a structure still valid today. Towards the end of the Weimar Republic it became Prussian "reform prison" under the director Fritz Kleist. New were, inter alia, gymnastics, radio room and readings for the prisoners as well as a museum. That is why the Celler citizens gave the prison the nickname "Café Kleist".
From 1934 political prisoners were arrested, as had been the case during the period of the Kingdom of Hanover and the German Empire, including the Celler KPD chairman Otto Elsner and workers of the Hanomag resistance group. Otto Marloh was one of the prison directors in the time of National Socialism. At the end of the Second World War, a total of 228 prisoners died from January until the invasion of the British on April 15, 1945, as a result of the poor prison conditions of the overcrowded jail. The dead were not buried in cemeteries, but buried hastily on the prison site. After the Second World War the prison was renamed several times, first in "penal institution", then in "prison", 1972 finally in "correctional facility". At this time, arose the new exterior wall made of concrete and a highly secured special unit for prisoners of the Red Army Faction. The installation of a modern stairs house in the late 1990s was the last major structural intervention.

Das Celler „Zuchthaus“, wie es in der Umgangssprache bis heute heißt, gilt als das älteste Gefängnis in Deutschland, das noch in Funktion ist. Hier lassen sich über drei Jahrhunderte alle wichtigen Phasen des modernen Strafvollzugs konzeptionell und baulich ablesen. Sie reichen vom „Zuchthaus“ des frühen 18. Jahrhunderts bis zum „Hochsicherheitstrakt“ des späten 20. Jahrhunderts. Dies lässt sich auch an den häufigen Namenswechseln erkennen, insgesamt etwa zehnmal.
Das Gefängnis entstand 1710 bis 1724 als „Werck-, Zucht- und Tollhaus“. Erbaut wurde es im französischen Stil von Johann Caspar Borchmann, dem Oberbaumeister des Herzogs Georg Wilhelm. Zu dieser Zeit lag die Anstalt noch außerhalb der Stadt in der Westceller Vorstadt. Sie wurde gegründet, um die Gefangenen nicht mehr ihrem Schicksal zu überlassen, sondern zu erziehen. Dieser Leitgedanke fand jedoch keinen Eingang in den lateinischen Spruch über dem Toreingang „Puniendis facinorosis custodiendia furiosis et mente captis publico sumptu dicata domus“ (Zur Bestrafung der Übeltäter, zur Bewachung der Tobsüchtigen und Geisteskranken aus öffentlichen Mitteln errichtetes Haus). Der Erziehungsgedanke war eine Idee, die erstmals in Holland umgesetzt worden war (Rasphuis Amsterdam). Damals wurden die sehr unterschiedlichen Gefangenen noch gemeinsam in Sälen untergebracht.

Zu Baubeginn (1710) regierte Georg I. Ludwig, Ritter des Hosenbandordens und später auch König von Großbritannien. 1833 wurden alle Geisteskranken aus dem Haus nach Hildesheim verlegt und der Anwalt Georg Friedrich König aus Osterode wegen freier Meinungsäußerung eingeliefert. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die Anstalt zum Zellengefängnis, dem „Isolierzellentrakt“, erweitert, eine bis heute gültige Struktur. Gegen Ende der Weimarer Republik wurde es unter dem Direktor Fritz Kleist preußisches „Reformgefängnis“. Neu waren unter anderem Gymnastik, Radioraum und Lesungen für die Gefangenen sowie ein Museum. Deswegen gaben die Celler Bürger dem Gefängnis den Spottnamen „Café Kleist“.
Ab 1934 wurden, wie schon während der Zeit des Königreichs Hannover und des Kaiserreichs, politische Gefangene in Haft genommen, darunter der Celler KPD-Vorsitzende Otto Elsner und Arbeiter der Widerstandsgruppe Hanomag.

April 1945 insgesamt 228 Häftlinge infolge der schlechten Haftbedingungen des überbelegten Gefängnisses. Die Toten wurden nicht auf Friedhöfen bestattet, sondern auf dem Zuchthausgelände verscharrt. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Gefängnis mehrmals umbenannt, zuerst in „Strafanstalt“, dann in „Strafgefängnis“, 1972 schließlich in „Justizvollzugsanstalt“. Zu dieser Zeit entstand die neue Außenmauer aus Beton und ein hochgradig abgesicherter Sondertrakt für Gefangene der Rote Armee Fraktion. Der Einbau eines modernen Treppenhauses in den späten 1990er-Jahren war der letzte große bauliche Eingriff.
