Spandau is the name of an area within the city of Berlin. It dates back to the 7th century. The origin of the word is unclear. Spandau is famous for its castle, the "Zitadelle Spandau" which is now often used for concerts and festivals. Spandau is probably even more famous for the Spandau military prison that was located there from 1876 until 1987. Rudolf Hess was the most famous prisoner to be incarcerated there, and the ONLY prisoner there from 1966 until his death in 1987. After his death the prison was demolished. The prison site is now a shopping center.

Spandau Prison is noteworthy because it served as the detention centre for all those (seven) convicted at the Nuerenbourg trials for Nazi war crimes. The most noteworthy of these was Rudolf Hess who was third most powerful man in germany during the 30's and 40's behind Hitler and Goring. He served a life sentance at Spandau taking his own life in 1987 after 21 years as the prisons only inmate, at the age of 93. You can tell exactly how important spandau prison remains as a symbol by the fact that it was knocked down and tarmaced over when hess died so it would not be turned into a pilgriimage site for Neo Nazi's. (The same recently happened in Wunsiedel where Hess was buried, as local authorities were alarmed each year when neo nazi's would turn up around the aniversary of his death and upset locals, and so in July 2011 he was exumed and cremeted to be scattered at sea)
