Stadtbad Halle

Stadtbad Halle is an indoor swimming complex in the city featuring two separate swimming halls with distinct layouts and purposes. The facilities house pools of varying depths and sizes designed to serve swimmers of all skill levels.

Construction took place between 1913 and 1915 under city building advisor Wilhelm Jost and opened in 1916. The facility emerged during a transformative period in urban design and became an important part of the city's infrastructure.

The sculptured figures at the entrance, called 'Fisherman' and 'Fishwoman' by artist Paul Horn, greet visitors and connect the building to water culture. Ceramic details throughout the interior reinforce this artistic character and enhance the overall aesthetic experience.

The facility is accessible and well-marked from nearby streets with clear signage pointing to the main entrances. Changing rooms and shower facilities are available throughout the building for visitor convenience.

The complex contains a tower with water tanks serving both pools that stands out in the cityscape from a distance. An observation deck at the top allows visitors to look out over the old town and understand how the building relates to the surrounding area.
