Germany’s worsening housing shortage is forcing young people to rethink where they study, work and build their lives as rents continue to bite. In Essen, however, an unusual project is offering students a very different answer to the crisis: transforming a former prison into housing. The redevelopment gives an old jail an entirely new purpose while highlighting the growing pressure on affordable accommodation across German cities. Could converting forgotten buildings like prisons become a practical solution to Germany’s student housing crunch, or is this experiment too unusual to replicate nationwide?
