Reopening of the Columbiabad: Duty to identify as a measure against violence in Berlin outdoor pools
Retening of the Columbiabad for violence
The Columbiabad in Berlin was reopened after a one -week closure. The renewed opening according to the violence in the predecessor weeks leads to both positive and critical reactions.
An employee of the bathroom reported "psychological terror" on the part of some bathers and the pollution of the toilets with faeces. That is why the bathroom was temporarily closed, as was the prince's pool in Kreuzberg and the summer pool Pankow, where diving towers and large slides were closed.
In order to prevent further arguments, increased security measures such as an increased presence of security personnel and an ID check at the input were introduced. These measures are intended to signal that violence is no longer tolerated in the environment of the Berlin baths.
The reopening of the Columbiabad was welcomed by numerous visitors. Families and children were happy about the new security measures and enjoyed a peaceful day in the bathroom. However, other visitors expressed their doubts as to whether the obligation to identify is an effective solution in the long term. You are unsure whether further rules can really solve the problem.
The Berlin bathing companies draw a positive conclusion after the first day of opening and the first weekend with an obligation to identify. Most of the visitors showed understanding of the measures. In the coming days, the regulation is to be handled "accommodating", after which further measures are planned to introduce a "personalized entry" to the Berlin outdoor pools.
Due to the various opinions regarding the new security precautions, it remains to be seen whether they can offer a solution to the problems in the Berlin baths in the long term. It remains to be hoped that the measures taken can be restored in the bathrooms, so that families and children can enjoy their time in the swimming pool.
