Auerhammer outdoor pool: Early downbath weekend is imminent!

The bathing season in the Auerhammer outdoor pool is coming to an end. On Saturday, August 30, 2025, due to the weather conditions, the "Skip" in the popular "Langbad" is said, which has already attracted 6039 bathers this year. Compared to the previous year, when almost 10,000 visitors visited the outdoor pool, the decline is reflected here. The opening times on the last day of the bathing are planned from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., but of course this depends on the moods of the weather, such as aue-badschlema.de reported.

on Sunday, August 31, both the outdoor pool and the swimming pool remain closed. From Monday, September 1st, the swimming pool will then be closed for the general visitor traffic due to school and club swimming; However, the sauna remains open. For the period after the October vacation, additional opening times for the swimming pool are being planned, which are to be announced soon.

visitor records and temperatures

Not only the farewell preparations cause excitement, this year's number of visitors in the outdoor pool also draws attention. On July 2, 2025, the Auerhammer outdoor pool recorded a visitor record with almost 450 bathers in one day, such as the Blick.de unveiled. On normal summer days there are an average of 200 guests who enjoy the sunny hours on the edge of the pool.

The water is currently perfect for swimming with a pleasant temperature of 23 to 24 degrees Celsius. Due to the high demand, the city of Aue adapted the opening times during the holidays; The outdoor pool is now open every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The prices are also moderately designed:

A look into the future

The Auerhammer Freibad, which in 1935 as the "plant bath" of the F.A. Long metal works A.G. has been opened since the city's outdoor swimming pool was closed as a urban bath. This shows that tradition and modernity are closely linked here. The construction period of the outdoor pool was only three and a half months at the time, and the pool has a length of 95 meters and a width of 22 meters, with a compensation volume of 4000 cubic meters.

For the 2025 outdoor pool season, the German Society for the Department of Bathroom (DGFDB) is planning a survey to gain insights into the current challenges and developments of the outdoor pools. Participants can fill out the survey by September 30th to obtain a compact DGFDB-Kurzreport that summarizes the most important findings.

Although the 2025 summer season is coming to an end, the interest in the Auerhammer outdoor pool remains high and there is certainly a lot of reason for anticipation for the next bathing straws!
