Outdoor pool season in Berlin ends: Prinzenbad takes stock with 338,000 visitors

The outdoor pool season ends in Berlin on Monday. With the closure of the Prince's Bad in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the outdoor pools say goodbye to the winter break, as the Berlin Bäder-Bäds (BBB) ​​announced. In total, the pool companies counted 1.5 million guests in summer. With around 338,000 bathrooms, the prince's pool was the most visited outdoor pool this summer, followed by the Wannsee lido with around 173,000 visitors and the islander with around 169,000 guests.

Security in Berlin bathrooms was a recurring topic in summer. Due to incidents such as wrangling, brawls and violence, an obligation to identify for the bathers was introduced and the guard protection was reinforced. In July alone, 91,000 euros were spent on the guard service in the Prinzenbad in Kreuzberg, which corresponds to an average of 3,000 euros per day.

The high number of visitors in Berlin outdoor pools shows that they are still a popular leisure activity for the Berlin population. The Berlin bathing companies should continue to invest in security in order to offer both the bathers and the staff a safe environment. Good cooperation with the police and increased presence of the security service can help reduce incidents of violence and conflicts.
