history

The Baumgartner Bad was built in 1875. Back then, Baumgarten was an independent suburb of Vienna until 1890/92; since January 1, 1892 it has been part of Vienna. In the 1890s, the Vienna River , which had previously run unregulated a few meters south of the baths, was continuously regulated in the city of Vienna in order to eliminate the risk of flooding and to facilitate the construction along the riverside streets. In 1898 the Vienna Stadtbahn was opened with the station Ober St. Veit. In 1938 the bath was acquired by the dictatorial city of Vienna.

The municipal buildings in the upper Wiental , built in 1949–1956, named in 1952 and officially opened in 1954 with living space for 5000 people, increased the number of visitors to the small bathroom, so that it was 1950 –1957 was renovated, modernized and expanded. For example, two halls were built in which an additional 70 changing rooms and 135 small boxes were housed.

In the end, the bathroom had an area of ​​9,100 square meters, of which 900 square meters were built in, two swimming pools and a paddling pool for children, sunbathing areas and old trees. The bathroom offered space for around 1,800 people. According to Vienna City Hall correspondence, around 1000 people visited the Baumgartner Bad on July 31, 1994, the hottest Sunday of the year up to that point.

In 1997, the Baumgartner Bad was closed because of its small size, the unfavorable location between the Westbahn and West exit and dilapidation, just like the Hütteldorfer Bad before . As for the Hütteldorfer Bad, which was closed in 1979, the replacement was the Penzing Waldbad, which opened in 1998 ( Hütteldorf indoor swimming pool since December 2009 ) at a location near Linzer Straße .
