Up to two days off per week for almost all pools
But in addition to gas, Baederland is also short on staff, and this leads to further restrictions. Most of Hamburg’s swimming pools will be closed one or two days a week in the future. “Closing days are placed on low-use days, except for public holidays and weekends,” says Schumeier.

School and club swimming continues
Only Bartholomäus-Therme and Kaifu-Bad will remain open seven days a week until further notice. In all pools, morning, school and club swimming should take place without change. Offered courses are also unaffected by adjustments.
Saunas continue to operate
The saunas must remain open in the cool season, according to Baederland, they “make an important contribution to public health” and, with the exception of MidSommerland’s ovens, are not heated by gas, but run on green electricity.
If the crisis situation worsens in the next few weeks, Baderland promises further steps, it may first affect the fun areas of the baths.
