Panoramabad Bürg opens on May 29th: A festival for hikers and families!
The panoramic pool in Bürg opens its doors to the first visitors on May 29th. On this day, hiking groups and guests are invited to enjoy the new roof and the catering at the outdoor pool. The expected start of the bathing season is June 12th. This reopening marks the completion of extensive renovations that have been carried out by volunteers from the pool association since September last year. The new roof extends over the toilet block, the upper terrace, kitchen, storage and changing rooms. However, some renovation work in the building has not yet been completely completed, as zvw.de reports.
In the city of Pforzheim, the pool infrastructure is also being expanded and modernized. Over 100 million euros will be invested in the maintenance and expansion of the pools, including the new panoramic pool, which will be built right next to the Wartberg outdoor pool. This will include a swimmer's pool, a slide tower, a large children's area as well as a sauna and wellness area. A rooftop sauna garden is designed to offer guests panoramic views of the city. Heat generation is ensured by the district heating of Stadtwerke Pforzheim (SWP). The building application for the panoramic pool is due to be submitted in July, while the opening is planned for September 2027, after a construction period of two years, as pforzheim.de notes.
Challenges and opportunities for the swimming pool landscape
The developments in the pool landscape not only reflect the desire for relaxation, but also show that outdoor pools are increasingly viewed as a cultural asset, while at the same time they are viewed as cost factors. These tensions mean that tried-and-tested processes in communities become less important. Municipalities are currently facing challenges such as digitalization and demographic change, which require new approaches to pool utilization. The German Bathing Society informs that outdoor pools have potential to respond to municipal challenges. A new self-confidence is required for the pools in order to preserve their cultural diversity, as dgfdb.de shows.
Overall, these projects show the cities' commitment to modernizing the pool infrastructure and continuing to offer citizens attractive leisure options in the future. The renovations in the Bürg panoramic pool and in Pforzheim are examples of how realignment and investments in the pool landscape can sustainably improve the quality of life in the communities.
