Overview

• Hannover's outdoor pools will open nearly two weeks later than usual, with the Annabad starting on May 9 and other facilities following between May 12 and May 18.
• Munich's Freibadsaison begins on May 1 with the Schyrenbad, while most other pools open on May 15, and natural pools debut on June 2.
• Nürnberg's Westbad opens May 1, with Stadionbad and Naturgartenbad scheduled for May 17; Würzburg's Dallenbergbad opens mid-May with increased entry fees.
• Regensburg plans to open its Westbad and Wöhrdbad in early May, though exact dates remain weather-dependent.
• Rising energy costs, maintenance needs, and staffing shortages have driven cities to delay openings, adjust pricing, and extend indoor pool operations.
