Munich has quite a few indoor swimming pools, but none are as beautiful to look at as the Müller’sche Volksbad. This Art Nouveau gem is now 125 years old, making it the oldest swimming pool in the city. This anniversary will now be celebrated in style with a special event day on June 26. Look forward to a wide variety of activities and historically low admission prices to celebrate the Volksbad’s birthday.
A historic swimming facility
A lot can happen in 125 years. Visually, however, little has changed at the Müller’s Volksbad, as—unlike other Munich swimming pools—it survived the war unscathed. Its operations, on the other hand, have changed fundamentally; in the past, the swimming pools served primarily for personal hygiene rather than physical fitness.
Today, most visitors likely come by for exercise and relaxation. The Müller’sche Volksbad has also served as a film set for the Italian horror film “Suspiria” and the drama “Deep End.” You can learn more exciting stories about the Volksbad and interesting facts about its architecture during the guided tours on the special event day. The tours take place hourly between 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Special Event Day Celebrating 125 Years of the Müller’sches Volksbad
In addition to the guided tours, there are plenty of other great events in store for the bathhouse’s anniversary. On Friday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., a fantastic program awaits you to celebrate the occasion. If you want to not only hear about the pool’s history but also see it, check out the photos in the exhibition . They show the Müller’sche Volksbad through the ages and can be found in the hallways of the men’s and women’s swimming halls.
If you’ve never swum here before, now is the perfect opportunity, as prices are specially discounted for the anniversary. You’ll pay just 25 cents to swim and €2.50 for the steam bath. The pool bases its prices on those from back then and converts them to euros. You canalso spin the wheel of fortune andwin free admissionto the M-Bäder, so with a little luck, you can save twice. Or you might win one of the other prizes, such as towels, goggles, pool noodles, and more.
