Fortunabad, Natural swimming pool in Knautkleeberg, Leipzig, Germany
The Fortunabad complex encompasses three separate water bodies spanning 25,370 square meters, surrounded by riparian forest near the White Elster River.
The site originated in 1890 as a clay extraction pit for brick production before its transformation into a public swimming facility in 1920.
Local associations and clubs managed different operational aspects of the swimming facility through a cooperative structure established in 1923.
The former swimming area now functions as a fishing ground, offering opportunities to catch pike, carp, catfish, eel, and zander.
The water bodies maintain connections to the Elstermühlgraben through dedicated channels that regulate water flow and levels.
