Schwimm- und Sprunghalle Freiberger Platz, Swimming and diving complex in Dresden, Germany.
The Schwimm- und Sprunghalle Freiberger Platz is a sports complex featuring two connected swimming halls and a separate diving facility. The site includes modern pools and specialized areas designed for different aquatic sports.
The complex was constructed between 1964 and 1969 and earned cultural heritage monument status in 2008 from the Saxon State Office for Monument Conservation. It emerged during a period when swimming facilities were being modernized across German cities.
The diving hall's roof displays a bronze sculpture honoring Ingrid Kraemer-Gulbin's Olympic triumph in 1960. The monument reflects the city's pride in its athletic legacy.
