New combination pool in Memmingen: These are the wishes of bathers!
The anticipation is increasing! The new combined pool in Memmingen, which many are waiting impatiently for, is expected to open in July 2026. More and more details about the construction, the tariffs and opening times are now becoming known. A look at the different aspects shows what bathers can expect from this new attraction.
The combination pool will not just be a simple swimming pool, but a real experience for the whole family. Variety is ensured with an indoor pool that has a 25-meter swimming pool, diving and teaching pools as well as a course pool, and an outdoor pool with an impressive 50-meter sports pool. Additional attractions such as a slide, a lazy river and a beach volleyball court are planned. In total, the water area will be around 2,233 m², which should really offer something for every taste. The construction is based on the passive house standard, which makes the project particularly sustainable by using CO2-neutral heat supply through groundwater heat pumps and a PV system, as the city of Memmingen explains on its website. memmingen.de reports on the progress in this pioneering building.
The construction progress
Construction of the combination pool began in 2023 after the old outdoor pool was demolished. A milestone was the topping out ceremony, which was celebrated on September 24, 2024. The construction progress can be followed online thanks to a construction site camera, with work on the exterior and interior construction progressing continuously. Unfortunately, the construction work was not entirely without complications: floods and heavy rain in June 2024 caused delays, and the damage amounted to around 160,000 euros. Nevertheless, those responsible remain optimistic that the opening can take place for the 2026 outdoor pool season, as ausschreiben-deutschland.de describes.
Wishes of future bathers
In a survey of future visitors, numerous wishes were expressed that should be incorporated into the planning. Angelika Deinhart-Haug, for example, hopes to be open all year round with daily operating hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Many respondents also made price suggestions. The prices could therefore be 6 euros for adults (for 2 hours) and 3 euros for children. Seniors and people with disabilities should benefit from reduced admission. There was also a proposal to introduce a special evening tariff of 4 euros for an hour of swimming. allgaeuer-zeitung.de summarizes these suggestions in detail.
Citizens' feedback is taken seriously. The city administration plans to review the opening times and tariffs again after the combination pool opens based on the experience gained. A difficult point is the pricing for particularly short swimming times, for which Anke Siefken suggested a maximum fee of 3 euros. With further expressions of wishes, such as free entry for babies and small children up to 2 years old and a special women's bathing day, it is clear that the combination pool should become a place for everyone.
Overall, it shows that Memmingen, with its new combined pool, is well on its way to creating a modern and diverse leisure offering that meets the needs of its citizens. Let's stay excited about the developments in the coming months and the great opening of the 2026 outdoor pool season!
