Badeschiff

The Deep Blue

The Badeschiff, created from a recycled river cargo container and floating on the river Spree, is one of Berlin’s most unusual swimming pools. Since its opening in 2004, it has become a true hot spot in town: deep blue swimming pool, wooden boardwalks, an open-air bar, stunning view and a hell of a lot of trendy people. The small 32m by 8m pool is kept to a comfortable 24 degrees Celsius and non-swimmers aren’t allowed in the water, so don’t even try!

Originally conceived by local artist Susanne Lorenz, the Badeschiff has inspired similar projects in urban rivers around the globe. The splashing fun isn’t just limited to the summers, though—each year between November and March the entire area is covered by a translucent shell and transformed into an enclosed wellness area. Architect Gil Wilk’s prize-winning design for the Winter Badeschiff includes two saunas, an outdoor cooling platform, a heated pool, a bar and relaxing areas, making Berlin’s long winter a bit more bearable.

Long hot summer Urban Beach Emulation

Take an early morning swim at Badeschiff-before the big crowd shows up. Have an eye also on the evening events down there-good potential for clubby sessions with high-quality line-ups. And Club der Visionäre, Arena and Hoppetosse are just around the corner.

The Badeschiff is an old barge or cargo container that has been converted into a public swimming pool in Berlin, Germany. Beached on the shoreline in the East harbor section of the River Spree, the Badeschiff allows citizens to swim in a safe environment in their river, at least in a figurative sense. Opened in the summer of 2004 as an art project organized by the City Art Project Society of Berlin. It was created by local artist, Susanne Lorenz, to enliven city life along the long-neglected Spree. The pool was converted from the hull of a vessel measuring eight by thirty-two metres.
