Potsdam celebrates: New city pool in the UNESCO Park opens on July 5th!

in Potsdam, a very special chapter will be opened on July 5, 2025: After almost two years of construction, the newly designed Stadtbad Park Babelsberg opens its doors. The city pool, which is located in the fascinating UNESCO World Heritage landscape on the shore of the deep lake, was revitalized with the aim of harmonizing sustainability, accessibility and monument protection harmoniously. The official handover of the keys to the Bäderlandschaft Potsdam and the Potsdam Seesportclub has already taken place, and the anticipation for the opening could not be greater. For everyone who did not yet know, the city pool is part of the comprehensive modernization of Potsdam beach and indoor pools, which has been in full swing since 2005, such as developing city.de.

The total area of the magnificent park is about 114 hectares and is a real jewel, which was designed by the famous garden artists Lenné and Prince Pückler-Muskau. The hilly landscape offers breathtaking views of the deep lake, the Glienicker Bridge and the Hans Otto Theater. Historical buildings such as the Babelsberg Castle and the small castle give the area additional flair. And no worry, motorized vehicles are not allowed in the park, so that access is very relaxed on foot, by bike or inline skates, as the swp-potsdam.de.

modernity meets tradition

The new Stadtbad Park Babelsberg replaces the previous, barrack -like buildings and fits perfectly into the scenic beauty. Historical elements such as the climbing arch and the flower bowls from GDR times were lovingly preserved. In addition, visitors can expect a focus on sustainability through modern technical equipment, which were realized in wooden construction, with a green roof and the use of solar energy and geothermal energy. The construction costs amount to around 9 million euros, of which 1.6 million euros were funded by a federal program, such as development city.de.

The Stadtwerke Potsdam as the client regard this project as a milestone. In addition, the historic "Drive" drive tray was restored as part of a property exchange, which also gives the city pool a historic charm. Another plus is the new sanitary facilities as well as barrier -free paths and changing rooms that should make it easier for all visitors to enjoy the stay.

Details about the opening

At the opening on July 5, the city pool is celebrated with an open house and free admission. These celebrations are all about the 20th anniversary of the Potsdam bathing landscape-one more reason to celebrate the new facilities properly! Integration of the Potsdam Seesportclub is also an important part of the project: the members have modern club rooms, changing rooms and workshops available in an environment that meets today's requirements.

By designing this bathroom sustainably and inclusive, it appeals to visitors to all ages. It is part of the special cultural landscape, which is also characterized by the Potsdam castles and gardens that have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990 and are protected on art history due to its uniqueness and artistic influence. The Stadtbad Park Babelsberg will undoubtedly be an enrichment for Potsdam's leisure and sports offers, a place where tradition meets modernity-and in the middle of the picturesque environment, which includes more than 2,064 hectares, such as potsdam.de.
