    Badeschiff Berlin - Escobar Konzert

    This place is THE COOLEST and now I want every city with a body of water to create a similar venue…read more (Local friends in Reno, I'm dreaming of a badeschiff in the Truckee River, maybe just outside of the entrance to USA Parkway near the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center so it can attract all the Tesla employees after work. And since it's Storey County, maybe it can be topless like the Badeschiff Berlin!) My husband and I arrived early on a weekday morning, but the Badeschiff was already packed. There were still folding chairs in a stack that could be set up, but all the chairs that were already set up were claimed. That was no problem for us, though, because we only planned to stay for a few minutes. My husband, as a ginger, is a bit of a vampire, and he had no desire to go in the water or to be in the sun. Nevertheless, he was able to find a bench under a shady spot, so he didn't even have to get his shoes sandy as he waited as I enjoyed swimming and taking in the most ridiculous, delightful atmosphere. A beach in downtown Berlin! Swimming in a beautiful pool located in the Spree! We drove here and parked for free along Eichenstraße and walked in. I changed into my suit in the car, so I cannot comment on the changing rooms available there. We paid our entrance fees (11 euros for the two of us) and scoped out the territory. Ladies can sunbathe topless, but tops and bottoms are required in the pool. I'm pretty sure that German swimming etiquette involves taking a brief rinse in the outdoor shower immediately before the pool entrance both before and after enjoying the pool. My non-German speaking and reading husband thought that a sign that actually read "no bicycles" said "no photographing," so he was loathe to take all the photos that I wanted him to take of our/my experience there. (Maybe the topless ladies also in the frame of the camera threw him off? He says that he did not want to seem pervy.) But rest assured, folks who are #doingitfortheinsta that you can, indeed, get that snap that you want. 10/10 I would make my sun, sand, and alcohol-adverse husband come here again because this place is SO COOL.

    View is amazing. Pool in the middle of the river and pretty sunset views. People do jumps, flips in…read morethe pool. We go at sunset time on weekdays and it is not crowded. Pool is heated! There are changing room, lockers, bathroom, nice sun deck with lounge chairs. They rent you standup paddle board also to paddle at the river. Must visit once! We love it there! We swim and watch others doing stand up paddle board. Super cool! We swim laps, take pictures, and sit on the side at Cody lounge chair, enjoy music there and watch the world goes by! Ah....h. Come and enjoy this unique Berlin experience.

    Ich habe die Sommer-Karte für die Berliner Bäder gekauft. Sie gilt aber weder für die Hallen noch…read morefür verpachtete Strände. Also, es macht keinen Sinn, die Karte zu besorgen.

    (deutsche Version weiter unten)…read more English: The worst 5,50€ I ever spent in Berlin. I came here for a workout and would have been better off if I had read the other reviews first. First of all, the positive features: The building is really beautiful inside and I admired the wonderful murals and the nice roof which lets the daylight in. The staff was friendly, the showers and changing cabins clean and comfortable, the water warm and the whole site is easily accessible by taking the U2. But that's about it. When I arrived, I was shocked how incredibly small the whole pool was. I also discovered that the pool was divided by two lengths of rope, making for three segments. One was the area with shallow water for non-swimmers. This took about a third of the whole pool. The main part, in itself divided into two segments, encompassing 2/3 and 1/3 of the width respectively, was for the swimmers. However, the smaller section was reserved for an activity group and not meant to be entered by regular swimmers. This was the case in spite of the information on the website which stated that there would be normal access this evening. The remaining 2/3 those in hope for a good swim came here for could use, were initially filled by about 5-6 people. This is the maximum limit of swimmers, if you do not wish to interfere with each other's swimming lanes. After 5 minutes, we were about 15 people which was WAY too many for this small area. To give you an idea of just HOW small it is: three to four people can swim in parallel and the length is about 20m. It was chaotic. I managed to "swim" for half an hour until I had to stop because I was too busy avoiding others and trying not to be kicked repeatedly by some people stoically swimming their chosen paths, regardless of oncoming aquatic traffic. I had to pay the full fee despite being a student (reduced is only up to 26 years) and considering I could not even use the pool for swimming, this was way to pricey for such a small facility. If you wish to visit, I'd strongly recommend to call first and ask if they are really offering unrestricted access to all the lanes during the time you plan your visit, no matter what the website states. If you are a lover of art nouveau, you might wish to give it a try to see some beautiful murals and architecture (this is what I keep as a positive memory of this visit). For regular swimmers, however, I'd recommend to use the Neue Halle nearly next door instead - same money, much more possibilities to actually swim. Deutsch: 5,50€ die sich wirklich nicht gelohnt haben. Die Halle wurde trotz anderer Angaben auf der Webseite im Parallelbetrieb betrieben, so dass nur ca. 2/3 des Schwimmerbereiches für reguläre Gäste genutzt werden konnten. Vom Eingangsbereich gelangt man über einen gekachelten Gang und eine Abtrennung vom Schwimmbereich (den man dabei bereits passiert) zu den Umkleiden. Hier sind 2€ für die Spinde nötig, stellt man hier fest, kein entsprechendes Geldstück zu haben, sollte man auf anwesende, wechselfreudige Mitschwimmer hoffen, denn zurück zur Kasse kommt man nur gegen Entwertung des Tickets. Die Umkleiden sind klein, aber zweckmässig und sauber. Ebenso die Duschen, die sich jedoch nicht temperaturregulieren lassen. Stattdessen gibt es warme und eine mit "kalt" ausgezeichnete Dusche. Von dort gelangt man nach Passage einer Trennwand in den Schwimmbereich. Positiv ist hier die wirklich wunderschöne Architektur der Halle und insbesondere die originalen (restaurierten), ebenfalls wunderschönen Wandmalereien aus dem Jugendstil. Insgesamt ist die Halle jedoch deutlich kleiner als die Bilder der Webseite es suggerieren: der Bereich umfasst ein Becken, wovon 1/3 auf den Nichtschwimmerbereich entfällt. Der Schwimmer wurde heute ebenfalls unterteilt, wobei 1/3 davon für einen Kurs reserviert war. Es bleiben ca. 20m längs und vielleicht 5 bis 6m in der Breite zum Schwimmen. Dies ist für fünf bis 6 Personen ausreichend, leider waren es letztlich dreimal so viele. Nach einer halben Stunde permanentem Ausweichens und Wartens stellt man fest: ein normales Schwimmen ist leider unmöglich, so dass sich ein Besuch unter diesen Umständen nicht lohnt. Ansonsten war die Einrichtung sauber, effizient und durch die geringe Größe eher familiär. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich. Wer sich nicht abschrecken lässt und die Architektur und die Gemälde anschauen möchte, sollte, falls auch geschwommen werden soll, vorher telefonisch anfragen, ob zur geplanten Besuchszeit Parallelbetrieb ansteht, da die Webseite anscheinend nicht aktuell ist. Insgesamt empfinde ich die 5,50€ jedoch als wesentlich zu teuer für die geringen Möglichkeiten. Als Spende an die Kunst und die Erhaltung der schönen Halle zu verschmerzen, aber schwimmerisch enttäuschend. Wer wirklich schwimmen möchte, ist mit einem Besuch der neuen Halle, die sich fast nebenan befindet besser beraten.
