"Stadtbad Oderberger" is a truly unique event location in the very center of Berlin. The former baths, built in 1902, emanate Berlin history - a perfect venue for every top-class event. You can book:
:: the main hall with the former swimming pool
:: two side wings
:: have a look at the ground plan and these photos!
The baths are currently being reconstructed, but you can still book them as an event location. See here the current status of reconstruction
History:
At the end of the 19th century Berlin is growing rapidly, and public institutions like schools, hospitals or baths are badly needed. To meet this demand, Berlin architect Ludwig Hoffmann conceives a complex of buildings, accommodating both public baths and schools (now part of the GLS campus) - see his concept.
