The large Berlin swimming pool on Gatower Strasse (260,000 visitors a year) is not only on the agenda of the House of Representatives because of Berlin’s new water polo arena and was therefore again a big topic in the Tagesspiegel. On the upper floor is the old sauna of Berlin-Spandau, which has been closed for over ten years: Here is a creepy photo of the abandoned turnstiles in the dim light – only Hui Buh in the bathrobe is missing.
However, the bathing establishments around Johannes Kleinsorg are thinking of reactivating the sweat floor. Was a recent topic here in the Spandau newsletter from the Tagesspiegel (“from 2027”), and now there is an amount for the first time: “Restoration of the sauna / fundamental decision: 2.1 million euros.”
Secretary of State for Sport Nicola Böcker-Giannini, SPD, gave this number in a long list that Klara Schedlich, Green Party, requested in the House of Representatives. The sauna location is clear in West Berlin: public sweating is currently only possible in the arcades and in the Meridian Spa.
The future of the former tanning studio next to the swimming pool is also unclear. The huge glass case has been empty for ages.
