Tiegenhain outdoor pool: starting the season with leaks and renovation problems!

Tiegenhain outdoor pool: starting the season with leaks and renovation problems!

The anticipation for summer is great, because the outdoor pool in Schwalmstadt-Ziegenhain opens its doors on July 4, 2023 for this year's bathing season. Mayor Tobias Kreuter announced at an on -site visit that the opening takes place on time at the beginning of the summer vacation. But the joy is accompanied by an unpleasant message: the non -swimmer pool will remain out of service this season, as it suffers from considerable water loss. Around 200 to 300 cubic meters seep away water every day, caused by leaks on the edge of the pool. These leaks mean that valuable bathing water gets into the groundwater and the groundwater pumps of the swimming pool have to work intensively in order to guide the water into the channel, such as nh24.de.

A ray of hope is the paddling pool, which, thanks to a transition solution using a bypass line, remains in operation for the time being. The city has already submitted a funding application for more than 5 million euros to the state of Hesse, which could be subsidized by the Swimplus funding program. This grant could cover up to 30% of the eligible costs, a maximum of one million euros per project.

renovation plans for the outdoor pool

The renovation measures planned for the outdoor pool are tough. The costs are estimated at over 3 million euros, and the city of Ziegenhain cannot manage the financial burdens alone. The current application for the funding is in Wiesbaden and has already been submitted to the district seven times. The planned work includes the stainless steel lining of the non -swimmer pool, the renewal of the roof of the functional building and the absorber system for solar thermal and photovoltaics. The water slide and the play equipment are also to be brought up to scratch, and the sanitary areas receive smaller, distributed "social islands" that offer more space for the bathers.

On the technology of the outdoor pool: Swimming master Frank Schulz has already checked the technical systems and the large pool is filled with 2000 cubic meters of water, while the non -swimmer pool is supplied with another 1000 cubic meters. The cleaning of the filters and the polish of the stainless steel pool have already been completed, but there are other repairs on the non -swimmer pool and in total in the outdoor pool. It remains unclear whether the outdoor pool must be closed during the renovation, which could cloud the anticipation of residents and bathers.

It remains exciting: if everything goes well and the funding notices arrive in autumn, the renovation work could begin next year. The preparations for the bathing season are in full swing, and despite the existing challenges, the citizens hope: inside in Ziegenhain, to be able to immerse yourself again in a well -prepared outdoor pool.
