Wuppertaler Brauhaus (Former Barmer Public Bath)

From the city pool to the brewery

The Wuppertaler Brauhaus building was opened as a bathing establishment on July 19, 1882 in the city center of the then independent city of Barmen, making it one of the first German public baths

At that time

At that time it was not yet common for apartments to have a bathroom. The bathhouse served primarily for personal hygiene. In keeping with the moral standards of the time, the Barmer bathing establishment had separate swimming pools for men and women. There was a bath station for individual personal care.

Monument protection

Until it was closed in 1993, the listed swimming pool consisted of a swimming pool and a smaller pool, the former “ladies’ pool”.
Due to a lack of economic viability, the swimming pool was closed on June 30, 1993.

modification

After extensive renovation work on the listed building, the former city swimming pool was given new life in 1997.

Today

Today the Wuppertaler Brauhaus is one of the most popular locations in the Bergisches Land
