Holthusenbad

The bath designed by Fritz Schumacher was opened in 1914 as the Eppendorf bathing establishment. Fritz Schumacher combined the two swimming pools and the bath tubs of the "Badeanstalt" with the registry office and a book hall (new buildings were built to replace them in the area of ​​Kümmellstrasse and Lenhartzstrasse in the 1950s). Another special feature was the heated outdoor pool set up in 1927, which was unique in Europe at the time. The bathing establishment was then renamed Holthusenbad in 1948 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Hamburg waterworks. It is named after Wilhelm Holthusen (1874–1934), the longstanding (1924–1933) managing director of Hamburger Wasserwerke GmbH, which was founded in 1924. The new bath building replaced the river bath that was abandoned during the Alster canalization , the Eppendorf bathing establishment. Concrete , a material that was modern at the time of construction, is clad with decorative brick and clinker bricks arranged in ribbons . The mansard roof and ridge turrets are reminiscent of baroque models. By including a registry office and a book hall , the building served not only for hygiene and recreation, but also for education and administration. Today the Holthusenbad is part of the Bäderland Hamburg GmbH association.

The “ new building ” is combined here with brick as a material, as is typical of Hamburg.
