The Old Bathhouse in Essen, a popular spot for swimming and relaxation, has announced temporary changes to its opening hours due to short-term staff shortages. These changes do not affect the course, club, or school operations at the facility.

The bathhouse will remain closed until September 22, 2025, as previously announced. However, on September 19, 2025, the bathhouse will be available to bathers from 7 to 10 am.
