Damage of 300,000 euros: Sauna in Neubrandenburg threatens!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - in the Otto sports park in Neubrandenburg, it is currently bubbling tremendously. Operator Rüdiger Otto is faced with considerable challenges after an undiscovered crack in the sauna landscape has led to a catastrophic situation. As the Uckermark Kurier was closed in May this year, as calcified and porous pipes in the ground let lead. Almost 300,000 euros in damage are in the room and the bottom of the entire sauna area now has to be torn out and completely renewed. Despite repeated pressure measurements carried out by various companies, the damage initially remained undetected.

The situation is heading. The insurance of the sports park refuses to cover the costs of the renovation work, which forced Rüdiger Otto to hire lawyers. "If the insurance does not pay, our sauna area could remain closed permanently," said Otto. The sports park was only opened in 1999 and has been a fixture for sports and relaxation in the region since then. At that time, Otto invested a total of three million euros in the construction and 300,000 euros in the sauna area, since the leisure activities of his customers are very important to him.

In addition to closing the sauna landscape, the uses for customers are also restricted. Vouchers and 10 cards could still be redeemed until the closure, but a refund of the purchase price is not possible. Many customers continue to support the sports park and hope together with Otto for an early renovation that could ideally be financed by insurance money.

In order to defuse the situation, it is recommended to use the offers in the fitness area that remains open. Interested parties can take part in diverse courses such as yoga and Pilates. A small group of customers has even signaled interest in actively supporting the sports park.

restrictions in sauna use

In addition to the challenges of the damage, the current energy crisis also has consequences for the sauna businesses. In the outdoor sauna, which is only open on odd days, no card payment is accepted. The 85-degree Celsius inside sauna remains accessible on straight days. From June 1, 2025, the complete sauna landscape was completely closed due to the anxious shade of the sauna and shower, which is a challenge for all voucher and sauna garden owners.

The sauna garden of the sports park can, however, offer numerous applications, from Finn sauna to steam baths with essential oils. These saunas are known as a remedy and offer a really soothing retreat. The adventure showers with various water applications are also an attraction for many visitors. After all, the fitness area remains open and is very popular.

When asked how long the renovation measures will take, there is currently no reliable information. However, one thing is certain: the Otto sports park not only needs solidarity, but also a little luck to get out of this precarious situation.
