Stadtbad Lichtenberg

Hubertusbad is an expressionist public bathhouse from the late 1920s in Lichtenberg with two swimming pools, changing cabins, and a hairdressing salon as original features. The structure showcases interior details including green-tiled surfaces and a brass diving platform that date to its construction.

The bathhouse opened in 1928 to serve residents during a period when private sanitation was limited in most homes. It continued operating for over 60 years before transitioning to a different use after German reunification.

The building held deep meaning for local families who relied on it for cleanliness and recreation when private bathrooms were rare. Its spaces reveal how communities gathered around essential shared facilities.

The space now hosts exhibitions and special events in areas where pools once stood. Check current programming before visiting to understand what parts of the building are available to see.

The green tiles lining the immersion pool are original to 1928 and reflect the color preferences of that era. The brass diving platform represents hand-finished craftsmanship from a period before industrial mass production became standard.
