Baerwaldbad

Baerwaldbad is an indoor swimming facility in Kreuzberg with two swimming halls housed in a substantial brick building from the early 20th century. The structure displays characteristic architectural features of that era throughout its facade and interior spaces.

Architect Ludwig Hoffmann designed this municipal swimming facility, which was completed in 1901. After suffering damage during World War II, it underwent major reconstruction in the 1950s.

The swimming facility serves as a gathering place for local residents who use it for swimming and exercise. It supports community swimming classes and fitness programs throughout the district.

The facility is located on Baerwaldstraße in the district and is easily accessible by public transport. It offers multiple pools and is staffed by experienced personnel.

The brick building was reconstructed in the 1950s while preserving its original facade elements. This balance between historical appearance and modern function makes it a notable example of post-war restoration in Berlin.
