Bergische Sonne, Demolished leisure pool site in Lichtscheid, Wuppertal, Germany

Bergische Sonne was a leisure pool complex in Wuppertal with multiple indoor and outdoor pools, sauna areas, and water attractions designed for visitors of all ages. The facility combined swimming areas with relaxation zones and play spaces in a single location.

Bergische Sonne opened in 1992 on the site of the former Kapellen tram depot. The pool closed on 23 January 2012, and the whole complex shut on 4 July 2012. Plans for a 200-room wellness hotel with the Novum Group failed in 2013, and the city bought the site in May 2018. Demolition ran from October 2020 to April 2021.

The indoor area was built as an artificial rock landscape, with a wave pool, a current channel beside a rock grotto, and a children's floor featuring a water playground, pirate ship and treasure grotto. Three hot tubs stood on the same upper level.

The site lies on Lichtscheid, on the grounds of the former Kapellen tram depot, not in the city centre. The complex was demolished between October 2020 and April 2021; a technology park is planned for the cleared land. The former customer car park was bought by Barmer in 2017 and serves as staff parking for its nearby head office.

The complex featured two notably named water slides called Black Hole and Blue Line that drew visitors seeking thrilling rides. Additionally, it offered a wave pool and a rock cave simulation, features that set it apart from typical swimming facilities.
