Countdown for the outdoor pool anniversary: ​​Rastenberg is preparing!

Rastenberg, Deutschland - There is hardly a place where the anticipation is as tangible as at the forest swimming pool in Rastenberg. Egbert Müller has been on the construction site for four weeks and has his hands full. On August 22, 2023, the outdoor pool celebrates its 100th anniversary, and Mayor Beatrix Winter is determined to meet the schedule. After all, funding of 2.5 million euros must be implemented quickly to complete the renovation work.

The committed mayor, who is a civil engineer herself, regularly stops on the construction site. Your enthusiasm for the project is obvious. "The charm of the forest pool from 1925, including the convertible hall and the old changing rooms, should be preserved," she explains. The comprehensive renovation of the pelvis and the delivery of a new diving tower, which is soon expected from North Rhine-Westphalia.

But that's not all! The construction site is working hard: the convertible hall and the popular yellow tube slide have already received a fresh coat of paint. A new technology building is also installed, which is equipped with three large filter containers. The last section in the non -swimmer area is still waiting for its completion - but the mayor is optimistic that water can flow into the pools from the end of July.

The demand for opening the bathroom prematurely is already there: tourists and locals are curious and ask regularly. The gastronomy in the bathroom, which has been running under the new tenant Sandra Lippold since Easter, is already very popular, despite the ongoing construction work. Invitations to the celebrations on the occasion of the anniversary and the opening have already been sent.

commitment and funding

The comprehensive renovation measures at the outdoor pool in Rastenberg are part of a larger initiative for the renovation of local institutions.

"We not only have to renovate the buildings, but also ensure that they meet future standards," said Klara Geywitz, the Federal Minister of Living, Urban Development and Construction, in a press release.
