Stadtbad Charlottenburg - Alte Halle Berlin
Top highlights
Description
Since the demolition of the Moabiter Volksbad in 1985, the Stadtbad Charlottenburg is the oldest indoor swimming pool in Berlin.
The Art Nouveau baths were built in 1896/98 according to the plans of the city architect Paul Bratring. The hall consists of a steel construction, which is lined with brickwork. Soon after completion of the building, extensions had to be made: Two additional steam boilers and more dressing rooms were needed. At that time, it was a matter of course that men and women bathed separately.
In 1923, a chlorination plant was installed.
After the Stadtbad was connected to the district heating system of the Charlottenburg power plant, the steam boilers were switched off in 1926. In the same year, a department with tub baths was created.
In 1933, family bathing days were introduced on two days of the week, which meant that men and women were allowed to bathe together from then on. In the last days of the Second World War, shells damaged the building.
In 1974, the new municipal baths were opened, located in the immediate vicinity. The demolition of the old town bath was considered, but it was decided to preserve it:
1974-1976, therefore, extensive renovation work was carried out.
Since 1982, the building has been listed as a historical monument.
In 1985, the facade was reconstructed with red brick, which is reminiscent of the brick Gothic style of the Mark Brandenburg.
