Guided Story
Imagine the sound of water gently lapping and the crisp morning air filling your lungs. Right here, where you're standing, was Germany’s first combined indoor and outdoor pool! Until 2012, you could swim outside and soak up the sun. Look to your left, where the indoor pool windows are now. That was once the entrance to a little open-air paradise. Behind you, towards the cemetery chapel, picture locals flocking here for refreshment. Today, the Fössebad is a peaceful retreat in the city. Whether you're swimming laps or just relaxing, you can still feel the echoes of its storied past.
