The building
The Rebstockbad in Frankfurt was built between 1979 and 1982. The architecture, which is reminiscent of Japanese models, is striking. The Frankfurt architect Dieter Glaser constructed a spectacular ceiling design in which a spacious, yet clearly structured hall was created using tent-like ceiling elements.
