Werksschwimmbad auf Zollverein
Cult bath of contrasts
An oasis of refreshment between industrial history and artistic flair. Where coke ovens once glowed, there is now a breathtaking pool in overseas containers. Nowadays you can bathe here in the immediate vicinity of the industrial furnaces. The swimming pool was created by the Frankfurt artists Dirk Paschke and Daniel Milohnic as part of an art project. Since then, the pool has symbolized the structural change of this impressive industrial region. Embedded in impressive industrial architecture, the 2.40-metre-deep pool offers a unique atmosphere. A work of art that makes you part of the scenery – through the holes in the container walls you can exchange glances and share unique moments. Enjoy the flair of the Ruhr area while you float in the pool. And after diving? Culinary delights in the café 'die kokerei', where the miner's maker and sweet treats await you.
