Olympic Swimming Hall

During the 1972 games, another temporary grandstand for 7,500 spectators was located on what is now the "garden side" instead of the large glass wall. Together with the stationary grandstands that still exist today, there was a total spectator capacity of 9,000 spectators. An attempt was made in vain to get the artist Andy Warhol to design the glass wall. The translucent roof of the competition venue was fitted with an opaque suspended ceiling after the Olympics. From August 2005 to March 2006, as part of an extensive refurbishment of the swimming pool, new thermal insulation was installed, which allows a certain amount of daylight to pass through.
Today, the Olympic swimming pool is a public swimming pool that continues to be used for national and international sporting events. In 1987 the only international swimming competition between the Federal Republic and the GDR was held here. In addition to the main pool and a diving pool, the Olympic swimming pool also has a training pool for the technical university, which is used for university sports. There is also a children's pool and a regeneration pool (whirlpool).

Great swimming pool. From the architecture to the possible uses.
The hall is open daily.
