Stadtbad Gotha, Public swimming pool in Gotha, Germany

Stadtbad Gotha is a listed public baths complex on the northern edge of Gotha's old town, built 1905–1909 to plans by municipal planning chief Wilhelm Goette. The historic swimming hall with therapy pool sits at its core, linked by a large new staircase to a modern hall holding a 25-metre sports pool, a learner's pool and a children's pool. New wings of reinforced-concrete frame construction flank the old hall behind the Bohnstedtstrasse front building.

The facility opened in 1909 as one of the modern public baths that German cities built for their residents in the early 1900s. After reunification, the building underwent major renewal and expansion to meet contemporary standards.

The baths opened in 1909 with a swimming hall, washing baths and a sauna, a combination German cities built for their residents at the time. The domed sauna rooms from the original building were kept and worked into the 2007–2014 renovation, which added a new sauna, a 25-metre sports pool and a teaching pool. The old main entrance on Bohnstedtstrasse still serves as the entrance.

The facility is easily reached by public transport or car with nearby parking available. Changing rooms, showers, and rest areas are provided, and staff can guide you on how to use the different pools and facilities.

The 2007–2014 renewal was led by architect Nils Meyer of Veauthier Meyer Architekten, Berlin, with Arc Nova handling supervision and quality control. Initial cost estimates of about 12 million euros rose to roughly 19 million, and planning to completion took 23 years with a team of 30 people.
