Bamberg city baths

The Stadtbad Bamberg is located on the eastern edge of the former castle park of Schloss Geyerswörth at right angles to the Lautenbachschen Badeanstalt Bamberg am Nonnengraben in today's Geyerswörthstraße.

history

After the private Lauterbach bathing establishment was closed, the city administration had a new building built in the Geyerswörth Castle Park in 1890/1891, which had an entrance hall and ten baths. The two bathing tracts, separated for men and women, are separated by a two-storey transverse structure that houses the entrance hall. In 1931 the painter Helldorf gave this dwarf building a wall painting with two seated flute players and three dancing graces in the gable above the entrance. The city ​​pool , now also equipped with a sauna and other health facilities, was given up in 2001.

In the years 2008 to 2010, the former Bamberg public swimming pool was converted into the Bamberg Tourist Information Center. Both bathing tracts were completely demolished and replaced by new buildings. Only the outer walls of the transverse building, which is now used as the entrance area of ​​the tourist information center, have been preserved from the original structure of the municipal swimming pool. Helldorf's wall painting, which was restored at the beginning of 2010, reminds of the earlier function of the building.
