Berlin and Chemnitz Extend Outdoor Pool Seasons as Others Close at August End

Operators cite weather outlook, staffing shifts, scheduled renovations in setting varied end dates.

Overview

  • Berliner Bäderbetriebe announced targeted extensions for several sites, including Prinzenbad from September 1–27 and Strandbad Wannsee through September 14, with additional week‑long openings at Wuhlheide, Mariendorf, Staaken-West, Olympiastadion, Humboldthain and Pankow depending on conditions.
  • Chemnitz confirmed that the Gablenz and Bernsdorf outdoor pools will stay open through Sunday, September 7 following a favorable forecast.
  • Dresden’s outdoor pools are operating on their published schedules, with some open until mid‑September or September 7, while Leipzig flags limited leeway for extensions as staff transition back to indoor facilities.
  • Multiple pools are ending the season at August’s close, including Voerde and Ludwigshafen on August 31 and Preißelpöhl in Plauen on August 28, with several operators pointing to September construction and renovation plans.
  • In the Döbeln area, Veolia-run pools will close on August 31 after assessing an uncertain early‑September outlook, as some swimmers elsewhere voice frustration over early shutdowns on municipal channels.
