Freibad Oberspree, Public swimming facility in Niederschöneweide, Germany

The Freibad Oberspree extended over 40,500 square meters along the banks of the Spree River in the Köllnische Heide district of Berlin.

The swimming facility opened in 1913 as Freibad Adlershof after the municipality leased the land from the Prussian Forestry Administration for 2,216 marks.

The swimming pool attracted numerous swimming clubs throughout the 1920s and 1930s, reaching its peak attendance of 9,553 visitors on July 2, 1960.

The facility closed in the 1980s due to water quality issues in the Spree River caused by industrial discharge from nearby factories.

Between 2001 and 2009, the former swimming pool area underwent complete reforestation, transforming the recreational space into natural woodland.
