Bäderland Hamburg Ends Outdoor Pool Season Early as Indoor Reopenings Start Sept. 12

The operator cites a 14‑day outlook of falling temperatures with rain to justify the early switch.

Overview

  • Most summer pools in Hamburg remain open only through Thursday, bringing forward the season’s end from the previously published Sept. 22 date.
  • Freibad Marienhöhe closes on Tuesday due to a reinstated rest‑day rotation, while Osdorfer Born stays open on Wednesday and Thursday.
  • Indoor facilities in Billstedt, Finkenwerder and Blankenese reopen on Friday, Sept. 12, with Kaifusole and Bartholomäustherme following on Saturday, Sept. 13.
  • Bäderland spokesperson Michael Dietel said the season passed without notable incidents and described it as a typical Hamburg summer rather than the hoped‑for “supersummer.”
  • Across Germany, some municipal pools are also adjusting outdoor schedules in response to local weather and demand, with NRW sites variously closing early or extending operations with limited hours.
