Grand Pool

This old bathhouse was built in 1929. It consisted of two pools originally intended to have separate pools for men and women.  After years passed by, one pool was covered with hardwood floor and it was used as a gymnasium for the school next to the building. The floor at some point was demolished as there were multiple fire incidents probably due to some vandals.

Gemütlichkeit

Even today you can smell a touch of chlorine when you enter the building. Because of the fires, this smell changes if you are in the ‘dark pool’ room (below). The basketball board is a relict of those times, the room was used as a gymnasium.
