Auebad

The Auebad Kassel appeals to both Kassel residents and visitors because it seamlessly combines indoor and outdoor swimming facilities in a modern way. While in winter you can relax with a swim in the warm indoor area or enjoy the sauna, in summer the pool becomes a popular open-air gathering spot.

The spacious outdoor areas, featuring lawns for sunbathing, sun decks, and outdoor pools, create a genuine summer atmosphere right in the heart of the city—directly on the Karlsaue. At the same time, the indoor areas remain open year-round, making sports, leisure, and relaxation possible regardless of the weather.

It is precisely this combination that makes the Auebad so special for many people: swimming laps in the indoor pool in the morning, then relaxing outside, or spending the day with the family in the outdoor pool. In this way, the facility combines athletic use with an urban leisure experience and ranks among the city’s most popular swimming pools all year round.

Spacious swimming pools, a varied sauna area, and modern wellness offerings make the Auebad a popular destination for families, sports enthusiasts, and those seeking relaxation alike. While athletic guests swim laps in the 50-meter pool, children enjoy the adventure areas and the 116-meter-long giant tube slide. The light-filled architecture, along with plenty of seating and lounging areas, creates a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The Auebad is open year-round. The outdoor pool season typically begins on May 1 and runs—depending on the weather—until mid-September.
