Floriansmühlbad, Former family swimming facility in Freimann, Munich, Germany.
The abandoned swimming complex features concrete pools and wooden structures along the Mühlbach stream, now overgrown with vegetation and trees reclaiming the former recreational area.
Opened in 1932 by Karl Kaltenbach, a former Olympic athlete, the lido operated as a popular family destination until its closure in 1988 when the land was sold to HypoVereinsbank.
The facility served as a social gathering place for local families and Munich's Schwabing district celebrities, featuring a kiosk that sold homemade apple strudel and refreshing beverages to visitors.
The site remains fenced and inaccessible to the public, located near Bavarian Broadcasting facilities on Floriansmühlstraße, with city plans for residential development or public park conversion under consideration.
Director Wolfgang Petersen filmed scenes for 'The NeverEnding Story' at this location, and the natural spring water never exceeded 21 degrees Celsius throughout its operational years.
