This was also confirmed by the Federal Environment Agency, which emphasizes that 98% of the bathing waters meet at least the requirements of the EU bathing water guideline.

In the 2024 bathing season, over 13,000 water samples were evaluated, and almost 91% of German bathing waters received the grade "excellent".
