Stadtbad Oderberger Straße

The Stadtbad Oderberger Straße spans three floors and features a 20-meter pool illuminated by natural light through side wall windows instead of skylights.

Architect Ludwig Hoffmann designed this municipal bathhouse in 1902 when only ten percent of Berlin residents had access to private bathrooms.

The German Renaissance building incorporates Italian Renaissance elements in its façade, with decorative water-themed sculptures by Otto Lessing throughout the structure.

The facility now operates as part of Hotel Oderberger while maintaining public access to its swimming pool during designated hours throughout the week.

The building's innovative structural design prevents moisture accumulation on the ceiling through strategic placement of highlights on the side walls.
