Schenkenseebad, Outdoor swimming pool and cultural monument in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany.
Schenkenseebad is an outdoor swimming facility with a historic changing room building in Schwäbisch Hall. The complex features multiple indoor and outdoor pools, water slides, and sauna areas for visitors.
The changing room building was designed by architects Paul Bonatz and Friedrich Scholer in 1940. The structure dates from a significant period in German architectural history.
Five teenagers' experiences at Schenkenseebad during the final months of Nazi Germany were chronicled in the 2008 novel 'Die Freibadclique'.
The facility is accessible during the bathing season and provides good access for visitors of different abilities. Plan time to explore the various pools and areas, and expect crowds during warm weather.
The changing room building is one of the few surviving structures from this era in the region. Architectural details and materials reflect the design principles of that building period.
