Overview
- Berliner Bäder-Betriebe confirm five summer pools close after Sunday, with others extended to September 12–21 and Kreuzberg and Gropiusstadt operating through the end of September.
- Thirteen halls reopen in the first week after school resumes—Mitte and Lankwitz on September 8, Neukölln on September 9, and the SSE on September 10—most others on September 15, with some sites later due to maintenance.
- Maintenance delays push Allendeviertel to September 19, Charlottenburg Alte Halle and Finckensteinallee to September 22, Spandau Süd to September 25, Sewanstraße to October 6, and Schwimmhalle Kreuzberg to October 20.
- Berlin schedules dog‑swimming days on September 20 (Staaken‑West) and September 21 (Am Insulaner) with EU pet passport and liability‑insurance checks, a “1 euro per foot and paw” entry, dogs only in the water, and chlorine expected to dissipate about a week after season end.
- Elsewhere, Dresden’s operator says six Freibäder close September 7 with others open one more week as hall hours expand, and Bad Kissingen sets a dog day for September 14 with vaccination and insurance requirements.
