Stadtbad Schöneberg, Public bath in Schöneberg, Berlin.
Stadtbad Schöneberg is a public swimming facility in Berlin-Schöneberg with multiple pools and recreational areas for different visitor groups. The complex provides a main swimming pool, a salt water pool, shallow areas for non-swimmers, and dedicated zones for young children.
The facility opened in 1930 after a design by Heinrich Lassen, during a period when Berlin was expanding its network of public swimming facilities. The building's creation reflected the era's commitment to providing water sports access to all citizens.
The facility honors entertainer Hans Rosenthal, who learned to swim there, through its naming since 2012. This connection to a beloved television personality gives the place a personal significance for many Berliners.
The complex offers areas for different skill levels and age groups, with separate zones for young children and shallow waters for beginners. Visitors should note that the facility gets crowded on weekends, and quieter weekdays offer a better experience.
The facility features a 53-meter water slide and a salt water pool, features that set it apart from many other urban swimming centers. This blend of recreational excitement and therapeutic options appeals to varied visitor interests.
