Werksschwimmbad
In the organizer's words:
Swimming fun at the Zollverein coking plant
Unwind in a bright blue pool in the middle of the former coking plant: During the NRW summer vacations, Zollverein guests can once again cool off, sunbathe and relax free of charge in the Werksschwimmbad.
The Werksschwimmbad was created in 2001 by the Frankfurt artists Dirk Paschke and Daniel Milohnic as part of the art project "Contemporary Art and Criticism". Since then, the blue pool, framed by impressive industrial architecture, has symbolized structural change in the Ruhr region. The pool, which is made from two overseas containers, is sometimes a hotbed of activity, for example during the annual ass-bombing contest in August - on this day, everything revolves around the perfect jump into the cool water in the city's most beautiful pool.
Please note: The 2.40 meter deep pool is only suitable for swimmers and there is a lifeguard on site. Unfortunately, non-swimmers are not allowed in the pool, not even with swimming aids. Free admission. Closed in bad weather.
