Müllersches Volksbad, Art Nouveau indoor swimming pool in Haidhausen, Munich, Germany.

Müllersches Volksbad is an indoor swimming facility with Art Nouveau and Neo-Baroque architectural elements located in the Haidhausen district of Munich. The complex features multiple pools for different activities alongside saunas and thermal spa areas.

The facility opened in 1901 as the largest and most expensive swimming establishment in the world at that time. Its Art Nouveau design influenced Munich's bathing culture and set new standards for modern swimming facilities.

The interior showcases ornate decorations with bronze sculptures and detailed plasterwork that define the space. Visitors encounter these artistic elements throughout their visit, experiencing how they transform an ordinary bath house into something special.

The facility is easy to access and offers different pools and thermal areas for various needs. Plan to spend adequate time exploring the different sections and trying out multiple bathing areas.

The facility preserves its original wooden changing cabins with direct pool access, a heritage feature rarely found in modern swimming facilities. This design choice reflects how visitors experienced bathing in earlier times.

Explore Munich differently: hidden treasures, unusual museums, secret gardens

Munich can also be explored beyond the usual routes. This collection brings together places where visitors are fewer, but where the city shows itself differently. You’ll find baroque churches like the Asam Church, modern art museums such as Haus der Kunst or Lenbachhaus with its expressionist paintings, and ancient collections in Königsplatz. The city also hides unexpected surprises: the Eisbach wave in the middle of the English Garden, where people surf all year round, the roses in Westpark for a peaceful break, or the royal carriages in Nymphenburg Palace. Some monuments, like the Peace Angel, remind us of lesser-known parts of history. Each place tells a part of Munich that the usual guides don’t mention often.
