Construction work on this new pool finally began in 2021 and the opening of the new Moselbad is expected to be celebrated on the weekend of August 24/25 this summer. The swimming pool will focus primarily on public use and its new barrier-free structure houses both a swimming area and a sauna area, which will be connected via a shared entrance area. Both the sauna and the indoor pool will have a separate outdoor space and separate changing rooms. The offer is rounded off by a gastronomy in each of the areas.

The indoor pool will have five pools: a diving pool, an exercise pool, a non-swimmer’s pool, a swimmer’s pool as well as a children’s pool. The first two will each have a lifting floor, which will allow to use the pools in different ways. In the diving pool, bathers can use a diving platform with 1-meter, 3-meter and 5-meter boards. In the outdoor area, there will be play and sports options, loungers and seating with a view of a pond and the Moselle river.

In the sauna world, visitors will be able to choose between four indoor and two outdoor saunas. Furthermore, there will be the option of using a rest and relaxation room on the upper floor, which also promises a wonderful view of the Moselle. The sauna garden with outdoor pool and the atrium with whirlpool will also offer space to relax.

“Our aim was to provide the citizens of Koblenz with an indoor pool and sauna. The result is impressive: We offer the people of Koblenz a versatile and ultra-modern pool,” said David Langner, Lord Mayor of Koblenz. The Moselbad is operated by Koblenzer Bäder GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stadtwerke Koblenz. Around 44 million euros were invested, the majority of which came from the operator’s own funds. Additional funding for the acquisition of the land was provided by the state and financial support for the outdoor facilities were approved as part of an urban development program. ■
