Stadtbad Gotha

Gotha Public Baths is a listed historical building of the Art Nouveau era. Centrally located on the northern fringes of Gotha’s old town, it was completed in 1909. After prolonged use, the original building was closed in the 1980s due to its dilapidated state. In 2007 the baths underwent a thorough restoration, modernisation and expansion programme, the resultant surface area being more than twice that of the original building. The baths were reopened in 2014.

Gotha’s historical Public Baths date back to 1905-09, a time when similar bathing facilities were being put up across Germany. Gotha’s baths were designed and built under the supervision of Wilhelm Goette, the town’s head of municipal planning. In common with public baths in other towns, those in Gotha consisted of a swimming hall, sauna as well as baths to wash in. The baths are Historicist in style, with strong Art Nouveau influences.
