Volksschwimmhalle Lankow, Protected former swimming hall in Lankow, Schwerin, Germany

Volksschwimmhalle Lankow is a swimming hall in Schwerin with an unusual curved roof made of hyperbolic paraboloid shells. The structure combines the original pool area with residential apartments and a medical practice in a single building that spans about 1,550 square meters.

The building was constructed in 1976 during the German Democratic Republic as a public swimming facility. A comprehensive renovation between 2016 and 2017 transformed it into a mixed-use complex, and it received protected monument status in 2015.

The hall's name, Volksschwimmhalle, marks it as a public people's swimming pool, and its 1976 opening by mayor Horst Pietsch made it a civic fixture in Lankow. Since the 2016–17 conversion, a 12 × 4 m pool with 1.35 m depth remains, used by a physiotherapy practice for health exercises.

The building sits on Lübecker Straße and is easy to spot from its distinctive curved roof visible from the street. Visitors should know that it now functions as a residential complex with some public uses rather than as a traditional public swimming facility.

The roof shells were developed by architect Herbert Müller, who led the Halle building programme behind the Bitterfeld type; their curved profile gave greater stiffness against buckling while saving material. The Lankow hall is the last of its kind in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a second Schwerin pool of the same type having been demolished in 2013.
