Agrippa-Bad, Public swimming pool in Innenstadt, Köln, Germany
The Agrippa-Bad is a swimming facility in Cologne city center that offers multiple pools for different purposes and age groups. Besides the main sports pool, there are also children's areas, recreational facilities, and a climbing wall on the grounds.
The facility was built between 1955 and 1958 as part of the city's reconstruction following World War II. A seven-story tower at Kämmergasse remains a defining feature of this structure from that era.
This facility serves as a gathering place for neighborhood residents and families who spend time together and develop their swimming abilities. The range of classes and regular events creates a space where people of all ages come together actively.
The facility is easily accessible by public transportation and has changing rooms and showers before and after swimming. Visitors should be aware that peak times occur at certain times of day and it is advisable to check which areas are available in advance.
The rooftop terrace offers views of Cologne Cathedral, while the salt water pool provides therapeutic effects for swimmers. This combination of views and special water properties makes a visit particularly memorable.
