history

The outdoor pool was built with funds from the Geibelt Foundation and completed on June 20, 1937. In 1950, the 62nd German Swimming Championships took place in the Geibeltbad. Between 2001 and 2002 the outdoor pool was extensively renovated and expanded. At the same time, a new indoor swimming pool with a sport and recreational character was built in the immediate vicinity between 2000 and 2001 in order to expand the leisure offer with a year-round offer and to be able to operate the swimming pool more economically. The costs amounted to approx. 38 million DM , of which approx. 6 million DM went to the renovation of the outdoor swimming pool area. On October 27, 2005, the Geibeltbad was awarded the IOC / IAKS Award in bronze, an international architecture award for sports facilities from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities (IAKS).

In 2017, the bath was the location for the “Johannstädter Freibad” in the Tatort: Déjà-vu .
