Bad

The Ernst-Alexandrinen-Volksbad features a preserved entrance structure with classical architectural elements and decorative stone details from its original 1907 design.

Duchess Alexandrine contributed 120,000 Marks for the construction of this public bath, which opened on August 26, 1907 to serve the local population.

The swimming facility represented early 20th-century social reforms in Bavaria, providing public access to hygiene and recreational facilities for all social classes.

The remaining entrance building at Alfred-Sauerteig-Anlage 1 now functions as the municipal auditing office, while the original swimming hall was demolished in 1977.

The bath recorded sales of 180,000 tickets by 1914, demonstrating its central role in community life during the early 20th century.
