Swimming opera
Swimming opera is a popular, sometimes also official, name for large swimming pools . The architecture of such swimming pools was perceived as monumental and was therefore reminiscent of opera houses ; Some swimming operas also have auditoriums as stadiums for swimming, which are reminiscent of a theater.
There is a swimming opera in:
- Hamburg (the Alster swimming pool in Hohenfelde )
- Frankfurt am Main (popular name for the Rebstockbad )
- Paderborn
- Swimming Opera Wuppertal (built 1957)
