Münster-Therme, Art Nouveau bathhouse in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Münster-Therme is a two-story Art Nouveau bathhouse with a central swimming hall featuring wooden changing cubicles and multiple dressing rooms. Adjacent to the main pool area, there is a wellness section with treatment spaces, an outdoor saltwater pool, and a Kristall Salt Cave.
Built between 1900 and 1920 by architect Richard Genschmer, the facility served as an essential public bathing place when private bathrooms were rare in Düsseldorf. It filled an important social role in the city's daily life.
The main bathing hall displays Art Nouveau details with curved lines and decorative tiles that shape the experience even today. The building was designed to make bathing feel like a privilege and gathering place, not just a daily necessity.
The facility offers different time slots throughout the week, including sessions for seniors and women-only swimming hours. Check current opening times before your visit and plan enough time to explore both the indoor and outdoor areas.
The Kristall Salt Cave uses specialized climate control to recreate coastal air conditions, a technical feature that transforms the bathing experience into something more holistic. Visitors often miss this detail despite passing through it during their visit.
