Wittenberg Swimming Pool: New opening date and extended opening hours!

The anticipation of the reopening of the Wittenberg swimming pool will have to wait a while. The Wittenberg Pools and Leisure GmbH has postponed the start of the season to September 15th. The reason for this is minor delays in the renovation work affecting the swimming pool and sauna. A modern replacement of the tiles in the pool surrounds and on the edge of the pool will be carried out to bring the facility up to date.

Until the reopening, swimming enthusiasts can still visit the Piesteritz outdoor pool, which will remain open until September 13th. On the big day of reopening, those responsible expect extended opening hours on Sundays and public holidays until 9 p.m., which will certainly attract many swimmers.

Summer season starts with special events

The Piesteritz outdoor pool opened its doors on May 31st. At 10 a.m. the first bathers were able to enjoy the warm temperatures and the refreshment in the water. A special event is celebrated on International Children's Day, June 1, where children can look forward to a surprise. In the current season, Bäder und Freizeit GmbH is also relying on modern technologies, such as the new solar thermal system. This has an area of ​​around 48 square meters and replaces the previous gas boiler to provide warm shower water. In addition, the excess heat is used to heat the pool, which is not only environmentally friendly but also economically advantageous.

The renovation work in the swimming pool is part of the comprehensive modernization that was carried out from June to mid-August 2025. During this time, the swimming pool including the sauna remained closed. Current information about opening times and further details can be found on the website www.baden-in-wittenberg.de accessible.

Solar thermal energy – a look at the future

Another exciting aspect of the current renovation work is the introduction of solar thermal energy in Wittenberg. According to the website energy-experts.org There are a total of 17 specialist companies in Wittenberg and the surrounding area that deal with solar thermal energy. Eleven projects have already been identified that focus on a sustainable and future-proof energy supply.

The combination of modern technologies and appealing offers promises an attractive season for all Wittenbergers and visitors. The anticipation of the new, modern facilities in the swimming pool and sauna will certainly be a reason for many to continue to come to the Wittenberg pools.
