City of Dresden increases water heat level in public baths

In a move aimed at providing a more comfortable and relaxing experience for visitors, the city of Dresden has increased the temperature in its swimming pools. The water and air temperatures will be maintained around 27–28°C, facilitating both recreational swimming and wellness activities such as sauna use and fitness relaxation.

While the specific factors leading to this decision are not explicitly stated, it is believed that guest comfort preferences, wellness trends, and potentially external climate conditions may have played a role. However, it has been confirmed that the increase in temperatures is not a direct response to the impact of the Ukraine war.

Interestingly, a year ago in April, Dresden reduced the temperature in its pools by 1°C due to energy scarcity and high prices caused by the Ukraine war. This initial reduction led to energy savings, but the city has now reversed this decision due to the positive development on the energy market.

The decision to raise the temperatures in Dresden's pools was made by the municipal Baths GmbH, which also aims to increase revenue by reopening the saunas in Dresden's pools. Notably, the baby pools will be heated to 33°C, while the course pools will be heated to 30°C.

This temperature increase in Dresden's pools is effective from September 28. Dresden's broader environmental context reflects ongoing climate-related challenges such as increasing droughts and floods linked to global warming, as well as efforts in flood risk management and climate resilience research in the region. However, no direct statement connects these issues with the pool temperature setting.

In conclusion, the pool temperature increase in Dresden is a strategic move to optimize wellness and user comfort, with a maintained temperature near 27–28°C as part of current hospitality services. The decision to raise the temperatures in Dresden's pools is a response to the positive development on the energy market, marking a return to pre-reduction temperatures for the benefit of visitors.
